Tracking number question

Post by SUNES »

Hello everyone. I have ordered an item from UK to Canada, and I have a tracking number that starts with WM...GB. When I checked on RM's website, the service for this tracking number is RM's "signed for". I thought this service is for domestic use in UK only. The seller said it is a tracked no signature service. Usually items I get from UK with just tracked service starts with L*...GB. Should I be worried?

According to the S10 standard, you are correct.

Perhaps they have sent you are incorrect tracking number, or put it on the wrong order.

Ask them to double-check and perhaps be a little suspicious.

Thanks for the reply. I have mailed the seller regarding the tracking number. Perhaps you are right that he might've mixed up the tracking number with multiple shipments. He did indicate he sent International Tracked to Canada. No problem with this seller last time, perhaps it could be a mix-up. I will update when the seller replies.

The seller got back to me. As expected, the WM tracking number wasnt for me; it was for another domestic shipment he made. Mine was indeed the LB..GB. A sigh a relief there. Thanks for the help.
