Tracking in in Scottish Borders
Using the Royal mail service you can keep track of your item until it arrives at its destination.
When sending an item with the Royal Post Office, always ensure you keep your receipt with reference number, this way you can localize your package at all times.
Where can you find this number?
The reference number 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 ticket, you won't be allowed to track your package online.
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.
