    Hi wonder if anyone has had the same situation as me?

    I have had two royal mail non-delivery cards neither has any tracking number or place of depot so how can i track it or track it?
    .
    I cant recall ordering anything and cannot find it in my emails.

    On the mail website you need a tracking number or contact the firm it came from?

    Any ideas?
    You dont need a tracking number.
    Honestly. The first question is do you have a reference no. Yes/no






    if you want to know your local office then the details on every office are on RMs site

    Services near you is linked at the top of every RM site page

    https://www.royalmail.com/services-near-you#/

    What is needed to collect.

     RM P739s (red cards) come pre printed with the DO details unless has been mentioned is a back up generic card

  • Bear in mind that it might not be at your local DO.  RM are about 50/50 with me as to whether it goes back to the DO or a relatively nearby (but not my nearest) PO...

    Its more the exception than the norm nowadays to RM using POCs as parcel drop off locations.
    This will (IMO) reduce as time goes on given RM pay POC for this facility

    This is it cannot see any reference number.
    Not all items have a reference number, so you do not need one.

    I am a postie, at times when stocks are low there are some generic cards that don't have the address on them but it should have been written on.  The card should have P739 printed on it, that is the internal form number.

    Thanks postie I went to my local big post office and a very.nice young man used my phone to scan the QR code and I rang the no provided. It is being redelivered tomorrow!

    Theres a phone number right there on the card?
    Parcelforce is part of RM group. It is not Royal mail letters Eg the delivery operation delivering letters/RM packages
    Separate for regulatory purposes and traffic doesn't enter RMs system (well unless in error)
