Tracking international royal mail
Tracking international Royal Mail parcels can be a bit more challenging than tracking domestic parcels, but it's still possible to keep an eye on your package's journey. Here are some steps to help you track your international Royal Mail parcel:
- Check the tracking number: Make sure you have the correct tracking number, which is usually provided by the sender or printed on the shipping label. The tracking number is usually a combination of letters and numbers, and it may start with "RW" or "IM" for Royal Mail International.
- Visit the Royal Mail website: Go to the Royal Mail website (www.royalmail.com) and click on "Track a parcel" at the top of the page.
- Enter the tracking number: Enter the tracking number in the "Track a parcel" box and click "Track".
- Select the correct service: Choose the correct service from the dropdown menu, such as "International Tracked" or "International Signed".
- View tracking updates: Once you've entered the tracking number and selected the correct service, you'll be able to view updates on your parcel's journey. These updates may include information on the parcel's departure from the UK, arrival at its destination country, and any customs clearance or delivery updates.
- Check with the recipient: If you're sending a parcel to someone else, you may want to check with them to see if they've received the parcel and if it's been delivered successfully.
Some additional tips to keep in mind:
- Tracking updates may be delayed: International tracking updates may be delayed due to various reasons such as customs clearance, weather conditions, or technical issues.
- Check the Royal Mail website regularly: It's a good idea to check the Royal Mail website regularly for updates on your parcel's journey, especially if you're expecting a delivery.
- Contact Royal Mail customer service: If you're having trouble tracking your parcel or if you have any questions or concerns, you can contact Royal Mail customer service for assistance.
