Re: am i right in thinking thatI don't think so, no. Tracked mail normally means that they keep a record of where it is at any one time (so if it's being sorted, you can use the Royal Mail post tracker on their website to check whether it's been processed and sent out yet or not).

Re: am i right in thinking thatNo, it doesn't. It can be tracked and signed for, but it should say on the card if you have to sign for it.
I've had a load of parcels recently that have been tracked and only two of them were also to sign for, one of which I missed and got left a card, and it had both 'royal mail tracked' and 'signed for' ticked on it. -

Re: am i right in thinking thatYeah.(Original post by tinktinktinkerbell)
ah right ok, thanks

Tracked would normally be for...important-ish things, e.g. I used it when sending a formal complaint letter so that there'd be evidence that it was sent and they did receive it.
Special delivery is valuable stuff, normally, and standard is just normal things like cards. -
