Hundreds of customers are unable to log in after the Royal Mail website goes down.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Royal Mail website is down, and hundreds of customers are unable to check in or track their packages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers have been experiencing troubles on and off all day, according to Downdetector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The issues appear to have begun approximately 11:30 a.m. today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 200 users complained about the outage this morning, according to the outage tracking website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 3 p.m. this afternoon, another burst of complaints occurred, with 180 people reporting issues with the website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The majority of the problems revolve around tracking packages and logging into the Royal Mail website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers who were dissatisfied with the problem resorted to social media<\/a> to express their dissatisfaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One Twitter user remarked, “I have a shipment due for delivery today.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I received an email from Royal Mail stating that delivery will be between 11:11am and 2:11pm, but nothing has arrived.” “I’m attempting to trace something, but it’s not working.” “Could you please tell me where this is?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Is there a problem with the Royal Mail app Tracking?” asked another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When pressed, it simply crashes (all other options are working). I’ve tried a different phone, and the same thing happens.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A third client added: “I believe you should review your website and app.” I can’t get on to the site, and tracking appears to be down.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The IT staff at Royal Mail said on Twitter that they were aware of an earlier issue that had been resolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, user reports on Downdetector and social media suggest that the problems are still there for certain clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sun has reached out to Royal Mail for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exact reason the letter P appears on some mail has been revealed by a postie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last month, stamp prices increased; make sure you’re up to date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
