Which services can I track?

All Parcelforce Worldwide UK services

Parcelforce Worldwide globalpriority

All Parcelforce UK services require a signature upon delivery. Parcelforce will not deliver a item without receiving a signature. If the item has been delivered to a UK destination then a signature should be visible as proof of delivery on your track & trace results.

Parcelforce Worldwide globalpriority and globalexpress services also require a signature on delivery, however this signature will not always be available electronically so it may not show on your track & trace results.

  • If you have sent your item at a Post Office and you have lost your receipt or tear off label, Royal Mail or Parcelforce Worldwide won’t be able to tell you the reference number.
  • Only a reference number can be used to track an item, other information such as a name or address cannot be used to track items.
