Thats not a tracking number from China they end in CN.

Its probably been dispatched to a warehouse in the UK, they do that in bulk because its cheaper. They then break the orders down, assign it a GB (UK) tracking number, advise Royal Mail. Once the paperwork has been accepted (pre-advice) RM wait for the Warehouse to dispatch it to them.

So to put it into Basics, it is on its way, but its not in Royal Mails system just yet.
