Royal mail untracked tracking

The joys of international shipping!

Royal Mail offers several services for sending items internationally, including untracked and tracked options. Here's what you need to know about Royal Mail's untracked tracking:

What is untracked tracking?

Untracked tracking, also known as "non-tracked" or "non-accountable" shipping, means that Royal Mail does not provide a tracking number for your package. This means that you will not be able to track the package's progress or receive updates on its delivery status.

Why would I choose untracked tracking?

There are a few reasons why you might choose untracked tracking:

  1. Cost savings: Untracked tracking is often cheaper than tracked shipping, which can be beneficial for small or lightweight items.
  2. Simple, low-value items: If you're sending a small, low-value item, such as a letter or a small package, untracked tracking might be sufficient.
  3. No tracking required: If you're sending an item to a trusted recipient or don't need to track the package's progress, untracked tracking might be a good option.

What are the limitations of untracked tracking?

Keep in mind that untracked tracking has some limitations:

  1. No tracking updates: You won't receive updates on the package's delivery status or be able to track its progress.
  2. No compensation for loss or damage: Since the package is not tracked, Royal Mail will not be responsible for compensating you if the package is lost or damaged during transit.
  3. No proof of delivery: You won't have proof of delivery, which can make it difficult to resolve any issues that may arise.

How do I send an item with untracked tracking?

To send an item with untracked tracking using Royal Mail, you can follow these steps:

  1. Choose the "Untracked" option when creating your shipping label or at the post office.
  2. Ensure that the item is properly packaged and sealed.
  3. Attach the shipping label to the package.
  4. Hand the package over to Royal Mail or drop it off at a post office.

Remember to carefully review the terms and conditions of your shipping service before sending an item with untracked tracking.
