Item despatched to royal mail meaning

When an item is "despatched to Royal Mail", it means that the item has been handed over to the Royal Mail postal service for delivery to its final destination.

In other words, the item has been packaged and prepared by the sender, and has been officially released to Royal Mail for transportation and delivery. This can happen when you send a package or letter through the post, and the sender's responsibility ends when the item is handed over to Royal Mail.

Here's what typically happens when an item is despatched to Royal Mail:

  1. The sender prepares the item for shipping, including packaging, labeling, and affixing postage.
  2. The sender takes the item to a Royal Mail post office or a designated drop-off point.
  3. The item is received by Royal Mail and is given a unique tracking number.
  4. Royal Mail takes responsibility for transporting the item to its final destination, which may involve sorting, processing, and delivery through their network.

Once an item is despatched to Royal Mail, the sender's responsibility typically ends, and the recipient can track the item's progress through Royal Mail's tracking system.
