Is ryml.me a Scam? Received Parcel SMS Text Message

I received the text below, which appears to have been sent from Royal Mail. The link in the text goes to the website ryml.me, which is owned by Royal Mail. But, I want to be sure that the text is not a scam. The text message came from telephone number 769256245.

I have received two messages regarding an item coming from Australia with two names on it which happen to be my cousin and his wife. The second message stated the date and expected time of delivery. Is this a scam? There was a link for delivery options. If this is a scam where did they get the names from?

Seems to be a scam. Need to see the link in order to confirm.

They may have gotten your information from a data breach.

Received 2 text messages.

One a day ahead and one on the supposed day of delivery.

Didn't recognise the sending company (YANWEN) but found out it was a courier in China. It didn't ring a bell.

Didn't click on any link.

When the delivery time had passed by one hour I came to this site. Just then a delivery was made. Something ordered on Amazon that took a long time to arrive and apparently came straight from China.

The text messages were authentic and so are likely the links: Royal Mail related.

I had one it had a valid tracking number which I entered separately without clicking the link so not a scam.

I am getting these messages for last few days too and it's from a shop which no one I know would have used. I kept on ignoring it and funny enough it seems to keep coming to say track your delivery and click on the link. BTW above comment about redirect is accurate and yes it is possible to redirect to a legit site. Urge people to play it cautiously if you don't recognise the purchase as if it was true then it will turn up :)

I got a couple of msgs with ryml.me in it. It confirmed delivery of a tracked parcel today, which did arrive and enclose a DVD from WH Smith. It may be a Christmas present from a friend in the UK or abroad. So many online orders are hopeless not mentioning items are a gift and there is no indication of the sender. So I suspect ryml.me is correct but shocking that Royal Mail abbreviate their tracking link to make it sound suspicious.

RYML.ME is not a scam. The ones RoyalMail tweet about are different.

Genuine texts from Royal Mail will ALWAYS use ryml.me as it is their URL shortener. The SMS also contains info about the parcel.

If you go to RYML.ME, it redirects to royalmail.com, which is legit.
