Royal Mail - Using Tracking Number

[Psamsara]

guys,  i 've sent a record registered to UK. when i use it from my end i see it entered the UK 3 days ago.. but when i use the tracking number on royal mail site it's not showing anything. is this normal? maybe they don't update so often, though 3 days is long period.

I'm pretty sure the tracking only shows once it's been received. Its not  a detailed update type tracking. If it has to be signed  for it will go back to the depot if the recipient isn't home. . sometimes on the card the postman leaves it says to wait for 48 hours before collecting at  the depot (some postmen are idiots) although 24 hours is normal. so there may be a long time delay
