Online Royal Mail Tracking

Hi all, hoping you can help! I tried to call but was advised I'd have to wait 40 minutes to speak to someone and I'm at work :( I sent my driving license + pass certificate in the post on Saturday. Paid for tracked 24 (obviously extortionate!) but all the tracking page says is "we're expecting it". It's now been 2 working days since I sent it and I'm worried it's got lost. Is there something I can do that doesn't involve waiting 40 minutes on the phone to chase this? I'm sure you can imagine that I'm concerned as it's original documents. Thanks!

Hello! I haven’t had any letters to my house in over a week now. I’m waiting for quite an important one it was sent 2nd class at the start of May. When speaking with the company they said Royal Mail is prioritising parcels right now. I’ve looked online and I can’t see any service issues where I am. I guess my question is are they telling the truth and if so how much longer do you expect I might wait? I am in L4 (liverpool) if that helps! Thank you all :)

I sold a jumper but the buyer wants to return it due to a small stain which I didn't spot and so didn't take photos of it. Anyway I accepted the return and I paid the postage however the buyer is now saying that they cannot use the courier company that was chosen (Relay) and it needs to be changed to Royal mail. I didn't choose Relay, the Vinted automatically used the same courier that was chosen when I posted to the buyer. I've tried to change it but it's saying that a return cannot be changed or cancelled once accepted/ finalised. I've messaged Vinted two days ago but nothing back from them. The money for the Relay postage has been paid from my bank What are ...

I'm sending a letter to a personal hero of mine, Julian Glover, and want to include return postage in case he has time to send a reply. I don't want to buy one of the big sheets of stamps on the Royal Mail website because I simply won't need that many. Are there any other methods that would work? I'm afraid I'm rather unfamiliar with the Royal Mail. Thank you in advance for any replies or advice

Do you know by any chance if this is normal? As you can see it's been stuck for a while. Is this normal for destinations in South America?

I haven’t redirected the parcel at all! I don’t know who to contact or what to do because Royal Mail is useless I can’t find any form to fill out or anyone to contact! I asked the seller and they are just as confused as I am!

This knife performs well beyond its price point! Barely used, probably seen less than 30 minutes collectively. Never touched up on a stone. Some light surface marks which is as it came new. An excellent knife, nice weight with a cracking handle. Only selling as I don’t use it and it’s sat on my knife rack for a while. Multiple domestic and international transactions on this forum. £80 + postage with Royal Mail takes it.

As you can see she wasn’t able to get an access code. I don’t have lockers local to me so I’m not sure how it works but I would have thought it would be returned to me now? Courier was Royal Mail. What is the next move here?

Is anyone else waiting for their order still? Ordered black vinyl and signed lyric sheet back on 23rd April and still nothing. Tracking says it's been prepared and shipping is Royal Mail 48. I'm not in any mad rush just wondered if it's likely been missed.

I'm assuming I can use Royal Mail but I'm sending expensive items, is there a secure way anyone knows? Happy to use any courier. Thanks.

Bit of a niche one, but has anyone shipping from the UK to EU found more of their shipments being returned recently? I’ve had 3 shipments in the last week returned from Austria, Spain is always an issue, Italy not much better. France has become a pain too. Germany is an exception to the above rule! I am always including Etsy’s IOSS number, the order number, and the GBP value. I’m not sure what the problem is. My guess is Royal Mail aren’t passing this information on to the destination customs. I tried to contact them but their customer service is useless. Any advice appreciated.

Hi all, looking for advice from anyone who’s dealt with something similar. I had a high-value collectible sent from Spain to the UK via Correos/Royal Mail/Parcelforce. It was posted on 22nd April and arrived in the UK/customs at the end of April. Tracking showed it reached Coventry PFW National Hub and then updated on 8th May saying it had reached Coventry and would be sent to my local delivery office. Since then, the public tracking hasn’t moved. I called Royal Mail/Parcelforce and was told internally it appears to be at/linked to Manchester, even though my tracking still shows Coventry. Today they told me Manchester depot can’t physically locate the parcel and they need to carry o...

Package has had no updates since 9th of May, called up royal mail they said by the 20th of May you should declare your package as lost. Was wondering is this normal or has anyone else had similar experiences to me and their package arrived shortly after? Royal mail tracked 48 btw

So I bought me and my friends our tickets with Apple Pay and my old address (still local to me) was entered and I didn’t realise- I didn’t realise until I got the email that my car parking pass has been posted with Royal Mail! I’ve contacted my old landlord to see if the new tenants have the car parking pass, but I’ve seen on the website you can ask for things to be sent to the box office- has anyone done this before? I’m so worried it’ll add loads of time waiting around on the day - like how can we access parking to go get the parking pass if that makes sense (Edited because I found the actual tickets on my app after panicking)

I purchased 2 cards (over €1k worth) from a seller (a private seller) in Switzerland (shipped to the UK) and paid for PostPac Priority via the Trustee service. It has now been well over two weeks and the cards still have not arrived. Tracking stopped once the package landed in the UK with no further updates (two weeks ago today). I called Royal Mail and was told the tracking number corresponds to an untracked economy letter, meaning tracking only works within Switzerland and not in the UK. All they could confirm is that it entered the country two weeks ago and that the sender sent it as a international economy standard When I contacted the seller, they admitted they sent it with the wro...

Hi everyone – Alex here. I run a small but specialized plating workshop in the UK. We don’t do cheap flash plating or “gold tone” stuff that vanishes in 3 months. Instead, we focus on 18K gold wrapping for watch parts – specifically Rolex cases and bracelets. What we actually do: 18K real gold wrap (not PVD, not “gold wash”) 7 microns minimum thickness – tested with XRF Perfect for vintage restoration, custom builds, or refreshing a worn genuine Rolex case/bracelet We accept loose cases, bracelets, or even complete watches (movement removed) Why 7μm matters: Standard aftermarket plating is often 0.5–1μm. That burns through quickly, especially on high-friction areas...
