Not sure. Does the tracking number work yet on the Royal Mail site? If it does, then I think that should say what service it is.


Still, AFAIK there are only two tracked RM services, Special Delivery and Recorded Delivery, and both require a signature. Actually, Recorded Delivery isn't even called Recorded Delivery now - it's been renamed to "Signed For".

Special Delivery gives guaranteed delivery the next day (or same day if you pay extra), has full tracking, and needs a signature on delivery.

Signed For (Recorded Delivery) uses standard 1st Class / 2nd Class, provides proof of sending and proof of delivery only (no full tracking), and needs a signature on delivery.

Ah... Further looking around the Royal Mail site reveals they also have a couple of parcel services that are tracked: "Tracked 24" and "Tracked 48". Signature on delivery is optional... so presumably chosen by the sender.

Maybe they used that for yours...
