Tracked & Signed services

Our range of premium postage options offer tracking and compensation.

Our Tracked and Tracked & Signed premium services provide tracking for an item as it moves through the postal network and collects a signature on delivery. 

Why choose our Tracked and our Tracked & Signed services?

  • Track important and valuable items at every sorting and delivery depot
  • Includes compensation cover up to £100 in the unlikely event of loss or damage*

The postage rate you pay will be calculated by the format, weight of item and destination of the item, with the additional price of the Tracked & Signed option below.

*Our compensation cover does not include cover for delayed delivery. 

Adverse weather may impact services as they are reliant on the arrival and departure of the ferry. 

Important information about tracked & signed. 

  • All items leave Jersey the same day subject to boat departures.

  • Royal Mail aims to deliver by 1pm in the UK, the day after they receive the item.

  • Royal Mail is a separate postal authority and Jersey Post doesn't have control over their service.

  • We use Royal Mail labels for tracking information.

  • Tracked & Signed items are deemed to be high value by HMRC and are likely to be delayed due to customs clearance.

  • Please pre-pay VAT when possible to avoid delays.

*Please note that there will be a handful of occasions throughout the year, due to earlier tide times, when we must bring our post office cut off times forward to ensure same day despatch on the ferry service. On these occasions we will provide notice on our service updates page. 

There are two daily ferry services carrying mail in and out of the Island. Inbound mail arrives into the Island each evening on the ferry service. Outbound mail goes on the ferry service to the UK which departs in the evening and arrives in the UK the following morning. There will be five outbound (JSY to UK) and six inbound (UK to JSY) services per week (Mon-Sat).
