Are royal mail delivery office open bank holiday
Royal Mail delivery offices are generally closed on bank holidays, but there are some exceptions and variations depending on the specific office and the bank holiday in question. Here's what you can expect:
- Royal Mail Delivery Offices: Most Royal Mail delivery offices are closed on bank holidays, including Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year's Day, Good Friday, and Easter Monday.
- Post Offices: Some Post Offices, which are operated by Royal Mail, may be open on bank holidays, but this is not guaranteed. You can check the opening hours of your local Post Office before the bank holiday to confirm.
- Special Delivery: Royal Mail's Special Delivery service, which guarantees next-day delivery, is not available on bank holidays. If you need to send a Special Delivery item on a bank holiday, you'll need to do so the day before.
- Collection Points: Some Royal Mail collection points, such as those at supermarkets or convenience stores, may be open on bank holidays, but this is not guaranteed. You can check with the specific collection point to confirm their opening hours.
- Delivery Times: If you're expecting a delivery on a bank holiday, it may be delayed or rescheduled for the next working day.
