2nd class royal mail how long does it take
According to Royal Mail's website, the estimated delivery times for 2nd Class mail in the UK are:
- 1-3 working days for items sent within the UK
- 3-5 working days for items sent to the Channel Islands and Isle of Man
- 5-7 working days for items sent to Europe (including Ireland)
- 7-10 working days for items sent to other international destinations
Please note that these are estimated delivery times and may vary depending on various factors, such as:
- The time of day the item is posted
- The volume of mail being processed at the Royal Mail sorting office
- Any unforeseen circumstances, such as bad weather or industrial action
- The recipient's address and the efficiency of their local postal service
It's also worth noting that Royal Mail aims to deliver 2nd Class mail by the end of the third working day, but this is not a guaranteed service. If you need a faster delivery service, you may want to consider using Royal Mail's 1st Class or Special Delivery services.
