I have ordered an Item today at 12.30pm. I straight away then received all tracking info as follows:-
0430am - Tracking number provided
1238pm - Parcel arrived at delivery depot (store)
1241pm - Parcel collection booked
1245pm - We have collected your parcel
The weirdest thing is that the tracking number was provided literally hours before I even ordered the item.
When I click on the tracking number link this takes me to Yodel (uk). This part seems legit and seems to be the actual yodel website.
The yodel website says that they have my parcel and it's coming from Packlink Shipping SL.
My question is - how does it seem that my order has been processed within minutes of ordering and how was a tracking number provided wayyy before I placed the order?
Also who are Packlink shipping? (Some sort of courier middle man maybe?)
Am I being scammed or is this just a way that sellers are fulfilling orders through whoever this Packlink company is? Do sellers have pre-generated tracking numbers or something else?
Any help much appreciated.
I should also add that the sellers info and feedback all seems legit.
