"Secret Shortcuts" or "Tools" on the RM Website ?

Post by Online Seller »

Hi,

Thanks in advance for any smart tips or shortcuts!

I hope this makes some sense ?

I send items Signed For. So I could send somebody a link to the below URL, and their Tracking ID ( say KF532383662GB ) and they can enter it.

https://www.royalmail.com/track-your-item" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

However, I use a different method.

I use the below URL, then add a slash, and the unique Tracking ID. This creates an "all in one" solution, as I get a ready made page I can send to people, in an email we can both refer back to. They simply click on the link, and it takes them straight to a page which shows them that, yes, their item has been posted, and I can later check if it has been delivered.

https://www.royalmail.com/track-your-it ... f-delivery" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

https://www.royalmail.com/track-your-it ... 32383662GB" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

HOWEVER, I like the " Full Tracking Details " button on the " track-your-item " page, as it creates a pop up with more detailed information, the same as the information that appears from this URL;

http://www.royalmail.com/trackdetails" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Using that URL, or the "Pop Up" from "Full Tracking Details", I can see the time/date I posted the item, that it was first "UNDELIVERED" then "HELD AT ENQUIRY OFF" then "COLLECTED FROM", with timings.

As I create my unique links using the "print proof" URL, there a way I can create a unique link for "trackdetails" ?

Does that make sense ?

And is it possible ?

THANKS !
