Ordinary letters - No

Tracked, recorded or Special Delivers - Yes if you have the bar codes.

Reason - Nearly 200 million items of post for 29 million address points will have passed through Royal Mail during this time. As you can see Logging or recording each item would be an enormous and expensive undertaking.

Oh - and moved to Customers area

Thanks for ur reply.

@carter: ya actually I ve applied for PSW visa. So I need a letter from UKBA to finish biometric test. In the meanwhile I moved into new address.
I have applied for redirection in royalmail and I jus wanted to know whether any letter has been delivered to my old address in three days before the redirection got activated.
I hope u understand the situation.

Sorry, I guess the question I have typed above is not clear.
The matter is I moved into new address. I have applied for redirection in royalmail and I jus wanted to know whether any letter has been delivered to my old address in three days before the redirection got activated.

Thanks for the reply.

Anyway you can call at your old address just to see if there's any mail been delivered for you? Sometimes people moving into a new house don't always have time to re post them.
