Is anyone else not happy with Royal Mail Track and Trace ?

I can never figure out why it only works on the day of delivery - I thought that it was supposed to give you a days warning, in advance of a delivery

But - every time that I use it - it tells me "Sorry, we're currently unable to confirm the status of your item with reference %%%%%%% . Please try again tomorrow."

I have the same issue with two recorded deliveries sent two years ago.  A defendant is saying he never received the legal bundle I posted to him. Yesterday when I searched I got "Sorry, we're currently unable to confirm the status of your item with reference WM_______. Please try again tomorrow."  I am getting the same respons today.

Very poor service.

2 years......... Delivered or not. The data is long gone from RMs servers

Couldn't you just have posted first class from a post office and kept a certificate of posting?

(If sending legal papers that have to be "served", wasn't the problem with recorded delivery that the addressee could always just refuse to accept them?)

Various"tracked "parcels never arrive off ebay,but the sellers pay up without issue.
A special delivery cheque I sent a while ago never moved on from Accepted at Post Office.It even had my address on the back.
I despair with "Royal"mail.
