What does item advised mean royal mail

When Royal Mail says "Item advised" on a parcel, it means that the parcel has been accepted by the postal service and is being processed for delivery. This is usually the first stage of the delivery process, and it indicates that the parcel has been received by Royal Mail and is being handled accordingly.

Here's what "Item advised" typically means:

1. The parcel has been accepted by Royal Mail: The sender has handed over the parcel to Royal Mail, and it has been scanned and recorded in their system.
2. The parcel is being processed: Royal Mail is processing the parcel, which includes tasks such as sorting, scanning, and routing it to the next stage of delivery.
3. The parcel is not yet on its way to the recipient: At this stage, the parcel is still within Royal Mail's network and has not yet been dispatched to the recipient's address.

Once the parcel has been "advised", Royal Mail will typically update the tracking information to reflect its progress. You can usually track the parcel's journey online, and you'll receive updates on its status, such as "In transit" or "Out for delivery".

So, in summary, "Item advised" is a status update that indicates the parcel has been accepted by Royal Mail and is being processed for delivery.
