An Amazon trader, who only replies slowly in broken English, has give me a supposedly Royal Mail tracking number which isn't recognise and is in the wrong format.
In the one reply I've had they refer to a "courier".
So, any idea what company use this format....
Thanks!

Eight digits followed by two capital letters
It is a fairly low value item (but urgent and important to me) so I imagine it would be one of the cheap couriers but I have tried all the ones I can think of!Thanks!

In the past, when stuff has shipped from outside the country and I've no idea where it is, I've used 17track.net to do the leg work for loads of couriers for me.
It's packed with adsbut when you identify the courier you at least know where to go next for the tracking.

To be fair, I've received smaller packages from HK that were "UK Seller" within 7 days, which arrived faster than some actual UK sellers0 -
What are those last 2 letters, might give a clue to where it is coming from. ie GB, US, CN

Here's another one for you to try:
https://www.4tracking.net/en/carriers/upu
UPU is Universal Postal Union, they set the standards for postal services around the world. the only problem from your point of view is the webpage says that a tracking number is two letters, nine numbers and then 2 more letters which indicate as others have said the country of origin.
