It seems like Royal Mail are not bothering with tracking any more.

I've received two long awaited parcels this morning and I also had one last week. All three had tracking but none of them had the sticker tab pulled off or the barcode scanned as usual. I thought I'd post that this is happening because it might affect someone depending on the proof of tracking this Christmas. Also, we seem to have new stand-in posties too. I guess this is why they're not bothering with tracking. My old postie told me there was a 6 week training for the tracking service.

I’ve just had a message from our HR department asking where the parcel is that I signed for on Monday. I’m not at work this week

Now been refunded as not delivered within 21 days. Not showing as being delivered.

I'm still waiting for something that was send recorded delivery on the 26th November. Tracking still just says that it was accepted at the senders post office!

Meanwhile I ordered something on Monday which arrived yesterday less than 24 hours later, also delivered by Royal Mail.

Mine was ordered express delivery over the weekend.

And was tracked accurately.
It got delivered today.

My item posted 24th November recorded delivery finally arrived today! Have hope people…although I’m still missing 7 items for DC for Christmas. If they don’t arrive tomorrow there will be disappointments all round.

Ordered a coat from eBay a few weeks ago. I only discovered it had arrived at my collection location by checking the eBay app. I wasn’t sent an email or text or anything. The young lass at the till was not giving me my parcel without my collection code, which I hadn’t been sent. Nightmare!

Royal mail has to do it. Private companies won't.

Who do you think owns Royal Mail?

I got a 24 hour tracked parcel last Saturday, it was posted on Friday.
