Royal mail card parcel -other

Hi not sure if I'm in the right place but I received a sorry we missed you card from royal mail and I haven't purchases anything so I'm not expecting anything.. the card says it's a parcel and couldn't be delivered for other reasons.. I enter alot of competition so possibly could be a win... just wondering if anyone knows what it could be as it doesn't say too big for my letter box? Has anyone else had this and if so what was it tia..

    Could be postage/duty due on it. Or a signature may be required.

    Would they not take it to a post office for me to collect if postage or duty was to be paid on it? X

    Does it state it needs collecting, arrange re-delivery,being returned to sender or left with a neighbour/in a safe space?

    Arrange re-delivery or collect from sorting office.. I have booked a re-delivery but was wondering what it could be as I've never had anything when the postman has ticked other

    It sounds like it could possibly be it needs a signature or it's too big to post even though they ticked 'other'. I hope it's something good! :)

    If its a red card,its not a charge. Ever
