3. So according to the above tracking your parcel has departed from China and is On route to UK. I would not be surprise if your parcel is already in UK waiting to get scan by Royal Mail.

4. Maybe you should look at this for your country UK:

5. Your parcel is fine, you just need to track it on the Royal Mail site for movement.

Hope this help.

From your tracking result, it was shipped on Oct 8.

the tracking number I have for China Post will not be applicable for use on the Royal Mail site.
Unquote

2. I can track that number on Royal Mail site. It's just that Royal Mail did not get to your parcel yet to scan it into the system.

Item: RJ866126065CN

Latest update: Please try again.

The reference number you have entered may be incorrect. Please check and try again. Find out more about tracking reference numbers.

Information on your International Signed item is not yet available.

Hope this help.

1. Why don't you call Royal Mail and have them explain to you how international mail work and ask them to track your number that left China but that Royal mail did not scan yet in UK.

2. If you feel so bad about your parcel and think you got scam, then just open a dispute to get your money.

3. I can not help you anymore about your parcel because I gave you all I know about it.

Thanks.
