Tracking in in Swanage
You can keep track of your item when using the Royal mail service, and find out its journey until it arrives at its destination.
All you need to do is to enter your reference number into the official post office website and follow some simple steps to localize your package.
Where can you find this number?
The reference number is a number printed in your ticket or receipt. It contains between 9 and 27 numbers and it will allow you to localize your items along the way into its destination.
In case you have lost your receipt, you will be allowed to use other personal details to try to locate your item by calling the post office, but the online tracking system won't be available.
