    Suspect this is a scam, never known Parcelforce to charge for tracking. If you Google homary, you’ll see they’re a furniture company

    Have I missed something ? I logged into Parcelforce.com to check on the £1 charge so I'm not sure which website you refer to is not a website. Not having a go I'm just curious

    Hi

    Not to worry.  What the OP stated did not seem right to me and when something does not sound quite right, I think outside the boxes.

    Therefore, I was pretty sure Parcelforce was not the problem atm and I thought, ok, lets have a look at the site they ordered from. Therefore, I checked the site. Having checked the website as per the post you are referring to, I posted that in the hope that OP could point me in the right direction with the correct web address of the retailer they bought from.

    Thanks

    I was guessing the company who gave the tracking number also gave a link to what was supposed to be parcel force and if it asked for £1 then it wasn't

    Which "company" would that be?

    No idea but if it was a scam the site would have to look like Parcelforce. The furniture company Homary has an up market website so I doubt the message came from them, i would think the best thing they can do is give them a ring

    If they enter their email address and order number to the link above - it should take them to the tracking of their order.

    There'll not be a £1 charge to track a Parcelforce delivery.

    It appears to be a multi-national supplier - although seems to have a base in the UK - do they know where in the world their product is coming from?
