The Web is Dead (Bot Net), So Royal Mail Cannot Do Parcel Tracking

Attempted on 3 computers, 3 browsers, same outcome:

track-mail

(Code blurred out)

I can almost feel sympathy for Royal Mail; they probably get hammered by bots.

The net impact/outcome, however, is that people who pay to track their parcels and want to check status… cannot.

Welcome to the “Brave New World”.

Nothing outside paywalls and “registration” steps or similar stuff (likely PHP) will work.

The world is not getting better and technical has only gotten more malicious.
