Royal Mail

Due to be delivered today

Royal Mail tracking parcel

What this status means

Your parcel has reached the local delivery office and has been loaded for the final trip. It is now with the postal worker or driver who covers your address, and it should arrive during today's delivery round.

Is my package delayed?

No. This message is a normal part of a Royal Mail delivery. It means the parcel is on its last stage. Parcels are sometimes not delivered on the day they are marked this way, for example when a round runs out of time or nobody can receive the item. That is not a fault, but it can mean the delivery slips to the next working day.

What happens next

The usual next step is a delivered update once the parcel is handed over, left in a safe place or posted through your door. If nobody can accept it, the courier normally leaves a card and the parcel goes back to the delivery office or to a neighbour or collection point. The tracking then shows that outcome.

What you can do

  • Make sure someone can answer the door today, and check any safe-place instructions.
  • Keep checking the tracking for updates through the day.
  • If it is not delivered and the tracking has not changed by the next working day, contact Royal Mail with your tracking number.
  • If Royal Mail cannot help, contact the seller with your order details.
