Re: Item number
It's not one of ours.
It is 13 digits and ends in GB so is it possible he's misread it?

AB123456789GB - i.e. 2 letters in the prefix, 9 digits and GB at the end = 13 characters in total.
P.S. To be sure, enter the number into RM's 'track-and-trace' facility on their website.

It might, might be a PFWW one as they have strange ones but it gets no results on their site.

Re: Item number
It's a parcelforce number and don't be fooled by tracking it is only one item.
