Tracked 24/48 now available at post office over the counter

[tommystrezures]

After a delay of a couple of weeks, our post office has finally started selling Tracked 24 and 48 Services over the counter as of this morning. There has been a big push out of the service today, for those branches that were originally meant to go live a fortnight ago and at the end of May.

I am not sure as I write this if all have the service yet, but there will now be thousands of branches that do. 

Don't forget, large letter services are the same as RM's online prices.

So its dead easy we have just done our first ones, the only difference is that the barcode number is a 16 digit number. As shown from our drop and go below.

Do you know how to track it though?

16 digit number doesn't seem to work.

We haven't had any problems when we put them in to the Royal Mail tracking. It gives the various scans etc

Hi.

Can I use a QR code for a tracked 24 large letter at my local post office/parcel shop?

This peice of text on the tracked 24 royal mail website is confusing me:

**Label printing at a Post Office is available for 1st Class (including Signed For), 2nd Class (including Signed For), Special Delivery Guaranteed by 1pm. It is also available for Tracked (including with signature) but parcel only format.

How does it work? As when I look online it says you need a mobile number/ email address for the recipient do you just give the name and address to where it is going or do you still need to write on the parcel as well I’m confused
