If you have recently placed an order online you may have the option to track the delivery of the item. Depending on what service it has been sent by, you may be able to just check when it has been despatched and when it has been delivered to the address or you may even be able to track its route across the country and see what parcel delivery number you are on the day its due out to you. It can tell you the drivers name and the expected time of delivery. Some companies may offer this as standard especially on large or expensive items others may offer you the option to upgrade to a tracked delivery service.

Tracking your items can allow you to check if it should arrive on time and can also mean you don’t have to wait in for days not sure exactly when to expect it. If you notice that your parcel hasn’t moved for a day or so you could ring up the tracking company to chase it up.

If you are posting items to someone then again ideally you want to be able to track it. This can avoid issues that may arise such as the customer saying they have not received an order.
