What does rerouted mean royal mail
When Royal Mail reroutes a parcel, it means that the original delivery route or address has been changed or updated for various reasons. This can happen due to various circumstances, such as:
- Incorrect address: The original address provided was incorrect, and the parcel needs to be redirected to the correct address.
- Delivery restrictions: The original delivery address may have restrictions or limitations that prevent the parcel from being delivered, such as a locked mailbox or a restricted area.
- Address change: The recipient has moved to a new address, and the parcel needs to be redirected to the new location.
- Failed delivery: The parcel was attempted to be delivered, but the recipient was not available or refused the delivery. In this case, the parcel may be rerouted to a different address or held at a local post office for collection.
When a parcel is rerouted, Royal Mail will update the delivery information and send the parcel to the new address. The recipient will typically receive a notification with the new delivery details.
It's worth noting that rerouting a parcel may delay the delivery time, and the recipient may need to wait a few extra days for the parcel to arrive at the new address.
