VTR again

Quick question please.

ALL of my packages are sent 48 tracked. However... my VTR rate is below 95%.

When i download the report. All of the the tracking numbers are shown in column D. But column I has "Valid Tracking" "No" The tracking numbers are valid though!

However......If i check the tracking on the Royal Mail website they state "Sorry, we're currently unable to confirm the status of your item with reference OE478957339GB . Please try again tomorrow.

The only thing i can think of is that Royal Mail are not scanning some the parcels. I have checked with some customers and their parcels are arriving.

Any ideas please ? I cannot see how i can get over a 95% VTR

Provided you are using Tracked 48 - it won't matter as Amazon state they validate the unscanned labels before taking any action.

Yes you'll get warning emails and it'll warn you on your dashboard - but amazon still state they won't do anything

Are you shipping low volume? As it is a surprise that its even that low with Tracked 48, we've never gone below 99%.

I'm noticing quite a high proportion of parcels not being scanned on delivery at the moment. it used to be pretty good.

Saying that my VTR is 100% because the 'better' orders get sent Tracked 48/24 and the rest is bought through Amazon.

Anecdotally I've heard the scanners don't like the rain.

"I have checked with some customers and their parcels are arriving."

...I wouldn't do that - you could be opening a whole new can of worms by doing so!

I'm having the same issues with Yodel at the moment. My VTR is down below 15%! Tracking numbers are correct, work fine. Tried speaking to Amazon but just got the robotic response of 'please check the VTR policy' and 'we recommend to use Amazon shipping'
