All seems a bit pointless to me as, once it's left the UK, RM don't give a 
That's their bit done and you can't even see if it's arrived in the destination country, let alone the actual delivery address.
Anyone experienced the same, or knows how to get further details?

The tracking continues with whatever service is entrusted with the next leg(s).   I've had stuff tracked all the way to destination in Germany when sending parcels to my friends, and it's shown on the RM tracking.

yes - in my case I enter the tracking number to the Japan Post website and then track through customs and on through to the local delivery office and then allocation to teh postperson who will deliver...

When I've sent parcels via international tracked service the tracking continues via the postal service in that country.  The RM website provides the link.  Some overseas postal services provide more detailed info than RM.

Just checked with Australia Post and get the same week old info I get from the UK

Works fine getting stuff sent to the US.

The issue is the receiving country, it's literally nothing to do with RM, not so much that they don't care, but that they have no sway or influence whatsoever. If they don't get info there's nothing they can provide you.

I always look at parcelsapp.com as there you can see under the "Next tracking numbers" which number the local distributor like DPD or GLS will use. Even between Hermes Germany and Hermes Austria the tracking number switches midway without letting the customer know the new one.

Then they shouldn't be peddling such a service with their reputation already in tatters
