Royal Mail tracker showing as 'we're expecting it' - what does this mean?

Created by Alexander Watkin, Modified on Tue, 9 Dec, 2025 at 11:48 AM by Alexander Watkin

We have very high standards with our internal fulfilment team. This means our orders are sent over to Royal Mail within 24 hours of the order being placed, with a very small error rate. 


Royal Mail tracking problems such as the "we're expecting it" message showing for a long period of time are usually due to Royal Mail's machines not scanning our packages correctly or falsely rejecting a batch. 


If this is the case, please fill in the Check Order Status form and include how long the "we're expecting it" status has been showing. This helps us to identify when a batch has gone missing faster, and we can re-send your order to you ASAP free of charge.
