Can I collect royal mail tracked items from the sorting offi

Post by brendanb581 »

Hi,

I wasn't in when a parcel came this morning so I got a leaflet in the door saying I missed it..

It's a royal mail tracked item but on the website it says you can collect the following:

"We collect most types of mail, including:

First or Second Class, franked or stamped mail
Special Delivery™ – remember to check that your collection time falls before the latest acceptance time due for Special Delivery™ mail
Recorded Signed For™ mail – remember to check that your collection time falls before the latest acceptance time due for Recorded Signed For™ mail
Small packets
International mail "

I see the royal mail tracked one isnt in there.. and it's defintely a seperate option.

Thanks

Your fine to collect just make sure you go down from when it will be there usually 24 - 48 hours after the attempt. Timing will be on the card although a lot of offices will be open longer from next week till Christmas.

Ignore the rest of what you have posted as well. I think you misinterpreted what you posted, thats all the stuff for when we collect mail from firms and businesses, not when you collect from the Delivery Office. :Very Happy

It will be a van driver and he'll probably finish work about 5 hours after putting the card through your door. To avoid any grief I would go down tomorrow, it will give the office time to process it and give you a better chance of not wasting a trip in.
