What does do mean on royal mail tracking

On Royal Mail tracking, "DO" is an abbreviation for "Delivery Office". It indicates that the item has been taken to a local Delivery Office, which is a sorting facility that handles mail and parcels for a specific geographic area.

When an item is marked as "DO" on Royal Mail tracking, it means that the item has been delivered to the Delivery Office, but it has not yet been delivered to the recipient's address. This can happen for a few reasons:

  1. The item is being held at the Delivery Office for collection by the recipient.
  2. The item is being sorted and prepared for delivery to the recipient's address.
  3. The item is being returned to the sender due to an issue with the address or delivery.

In most cases, "DO" is a temporary status, and the item will be updated to "Out for Delivery" or "Delivered" once it has been dispatched to the recipient's address. If you're tracking an item and it's stuck at the "DO" stage, you can contact Royal Mail customer service to inquire about the status of your item.
