A Question about Returning Sky Q box by Collection by Royal Mail.

[Dingleannie]

All the packaging arrived today for me to return my Sky Q box. I have arranged for the Royal Mail to collect it tomorrow.

I know I need to keep my Tracking Number. 

I have never used this service before so I'm not sure when I will be given a tracking number.

Also should I keep my reference number too.

Thank you.

The tracking number is the one on the return address label. I'd suggest taking a camera photo of it (make sure it's legible!). Ask for proof of postage, but I don't think RM provide one for collected items.

You might also want to take a picture of the filled package before you seal it up.

@Mark Thank you. I have just put the number in and they are expecting it.

Wish I had taken a photo as you suggested but I have already sealed it up.

But I have the Tracking number so everything should be ok if anything goes wrong.

Thanks again.

I'd suggest taking screenshot of the tracking progress until it's reported as being received.  Keep them indefinitely - occasionally queries  arise months later.

@Mark39 Brilliant idea.  Thank you.
