      Common questions

      • No, the Tracked 48 with signature service currently doesn’t deliver letters or parcels on a Sunday.

      • Tracked 48 with signature delivery comes with proof of delivery, photo on delivery and is signed for by the person receiving it, so you’ll know when your item’s arrived at its destination. The person receiving your parcel will also get an SMS or email notification when it’s delivered.

      • If your parcel’s over the size or weight of a medium parcel, you’ll need to send it via Parcelforce Worldwide (up to a maximum of 30kg and maximum size of 2.5m and 5m length and girth combined).

        Find out about Parcelforce Worldwide services.

      • Not everything fits neatly in a box, so we have slightly different rules for different-shaped parcels.

        For rolled and cylinder-shaped items, the length of the item plus twice the diameter must not exceed 104cm. The greatest dimension should be no more than 90cm.

        Here’s how to find out if it’s the right size:

        • Measure the length of the parcel
        • Measure the flat end of the parcel and double it
        • Add all those measurements together

        If it all adds up to less than 104cm and weighs under 20kg, you should be able to post your parcel as a medium parcel. And take advantage of cheap parcel delivery.
