Is this Royal Mail text a scam?
Check unexpected delivery messages, redelivery fees and parcel tracking links before sharing information.
Red flags to look for
- An unexpected request for a small redelivery payment.
- A shortened or unfamiliar website address.
- Pressure to act immediately or lose a parcel.
What to do next
- Open Royal Mail’s website yourself or use your usual tracking app.
- Check the tracking number independently before paying.
- Use the checker to help understand the wording. If you already shared card details, contact your bank using a number you trust.
Guidance supports your judgement; it cannot establish that a message is definitely safe.
