Are royal mail delivering as normal
According to the Royal Mail's website and social media updates, they are still delivering mail and parcels as normally as possible, despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
However, they have implemented some measures to ensure the safety of their staff and customers, such as:
- Social distancing: Royal Mail is encouraging staff to maintain a safe distance from each other and customers.
- Hand hygiene: Staff are being reminded to wash their hands regularly and use hand sanitizer.
- Face coverings: Some Royal Mail staff are wearing face coverings while delivering mail and parcels.
- Reduced contact: Royal Mail is encouraging customers to reduce contact with staff, such as by using contactless payment methods or leaving parcels in a safe location.
- Increased cleaning: Royal Mail is increasing the frequency of cleaning and disinfecting of their vehicles, sorting offices, and other facilities.
Despite these measures, Royal Mail is still experiencing some delays and disruptions to their services, particularly in areas with high levels of COVID-19 infection. If you're concerned about the delivery of a specific item, you can track your parcel or contact Royal Mail's customer service team for more information.
It's also worth noting that Royal Mail has suspended some of its services, such as its Special Delivery Guaranteed by 9am and Special Delivery Guaranteed by 1pm services, due to the pandemic. However, they are still delivering mail and parcels as normally as possible, and you can expect to receive your items within the usual timeframe.
