Royal mail tracking without tracking number

The frustration of not having a tracking number!

While Royal Mail doesn't provide real-time tracking information without a tracking number, there are a few ways to try to track your parcel:

  1. Check your email: If you provided an email address when sending the parcel, Royal Mail may have sent you an email with a tracking update.
  2. Contact Royal Mail: You can contact Royal Mail's customer service team and provide them with your parcel's details, such as the sender's name, recipient's name, and approximate delivery date. They may be able to look up the parcel's status for you.
  3. Check with the sender: If you're the sender, you can contact the recipient and ask them to check their email for any tracking updates. If you're the recipient, you can ask the sender to provide you with the tracking information.
  4. Use a third-party tracking service: There are several third-party services that claim to be able to track Royal Mail parcels without a tracking number. These services often use algorithms to match parcel details with Royal Mail's database. Some popular options include:
    • Parcel Monkey: Offers a "Track My Parcel" feature that allows you to enter your parcel's details and receive updates on its status.
    • Parcel2Go: Provides a "Track Your Parcel" feature that allows you to enter your parcel's details and receive updates on its status.
    • TrackMyParcel: A free online service that allows you to track your parcel by entering your parcel's details.

Please note that these third-party services may not always be accurate, and Royal Mail may not provide updates to these services.

If you're unable to track your parcel using these methods, you can try contacting Royal Mail's customer service team again to see if they can provide any additional information.
