Which Android app is best for tracking an expected delivery
from a UK courier - including Royal Mail and Parcelforce?

None - Roayl Mail tracking only tells you that the parcel has
been posted and the parcel has been delivered. If Royal mail
doesn't input the on-route data no app will tell you where it is.
Parcelforce employ illiterate non-english speaking drivers who
can only scribble a fictional post office name/address when
leaving a "not in" card.

Many of the other couriers have their own tracking, often giving
one hour slots and the current location of the delivery vehicle.


Royal Mail tracking varies depending on what has been paid
for/agreed with the sender. Yes, sometimes it only reveals that
the item has been delivered and nothing before.

Bizarrely, some of the most detailed RM tracking I have seen has
been via Aliexpress (or their default delivery) where I have seen
fine details both en route and within the UK.

Amazon seems to get timely feedback about delivery on packages it
sends via Royal Mail. I would like an app that can do this for RM
packages in general plus other couriers.

I get told by RM very promptly that my parcel; has been delivered.
Same goes for most other carriers. The info comes by email; it
doesn't need another app.

What system have you signed up to? I am talkig about receiving
parcels.

I am not signed up to anything, The tracking is set up by the sender.

I mean to ask in what way do you "get told by RM very promptly that my
parcel has been delivered" ?
