The service

What is Royal Mail Tracked 48?

The two day version of Tracked 24. Same tracking, lower price, one more day. It sits within Royal Mail's range alongside Tracked 24 and Special Delivery, and the difference between them is speed and price rather than handling.

Speed

How fast is Royal Mail Tracked 48?

Two working days, aimed rather than guaranteed. The exact estimate for your route is shown in the quote, along with the latest booking time for that service. If you are close to a cut off, the quote tells you before you pay rather than after.
