Are royal mail international deliveries back to normal

Royal Mail's international delivery services have been affected by various factors, including the COVID-19 pandemic, Brexit, and other operational issues. While they have made significant progress in recent months, there are still some ongoing challenges and limitations.

As of March 2023, Royal Mail's international delivery services are generally back to normal, but with some exceptions and limitations. Here are some key updates:

  1. International Tracked & Signed (ITS) and International Signed (IS) services: These services are now generally back to normal, with most destinations experiencing normal delivery times.
  2. International Tracked (IT) services: While IT services are mostly back to normal, there may be some delays or disruptions in certain areas, particularly in Europe.
  3. Airmail services: Airmail services, which are used for lighter items, are generally back to normal, but there may be some delays or disruptions in certain areas.
  4. Surface Mail services: Surface Mail services, which are used for heavier items, are still experiencing some delays and disruptions, particularly to destinations outside Europe.
  5. Brexit-related issues: While the UK has left the EU, there may still be some customs clearance delays and disruptions, particularly for items sent to or from the EU.
  6. COVID-19-related issues: While the pandemic is under control in many countries, there may still be some local lockdowns, border restrictions, or other issues that could impact international deliveries.
