To be honest I didn’t think they would use tracked either, but on the tracking says:
 
Service used:Royal Mail Tracked 24™

Was only a book reduced from 8.99 to 3.00. 

Amazon are a huge user of Tracked with RM (more so recently as they struggle for drivers)
They have direct Tracked feeds into mail centres 7 days a week with recent introduction of Sunday deliveries

Thank you, that explains it then.

They've recently restructured their "small & light" warehouses and they've always used RM a lot of the time. Essentially everything low value that can be sent as an up to 250g large letter.
Previously they were getting a lot of losses and sending the wrong items and that looks less possible with their changes.
Knowing Amazon they probably pay RM the same, or even less, for Tracked24 as we mere mortals pay for RM24.

one thing that has flagged up recently. Amazon seem to have label printing issues
Real increase addresses being printed too far left and the address getting sliced.(always happened before but not in these volumes)
Could lead to misdeliveries eg delivered to no3 when it should be 33 or delayed/returned items

Well out of the blue several days after it was updated to say delivered, the postman put it through the letterbox today.
