Hi
I will stay in the UK ( England) for quite some time soon (several months ) and was looking for a trackable mailing service with which I can send letters and moderately sized parcels ( gifts) to Europe. Predominantely Germany.
I favour Royal Mail priority air mail. They recently introduced barcodes on their labels.
Is this service now trackable because I somewhere read that the barcodes are not tracking codes, however they exactly look like them?
Sincerely,
Ihda

Do the new barcodes on the international priority airmail mean that there is at least delivery confirmation?SpacePhoenix wrote:International Track & Signed (https://www.royalmail.com/sending/inter ... ked-signed" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) or International Tracked (https://www.royalmail.com/sending/inter ... al-tracked" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) are your only options if you want it to be Tracked once in Germany
Or are the two services you mentioned the only ones with delivery confirmation?

What you get varies by destination country, as national postal services are quite variable. Germany are one of the better ones.
