Can i send mail on bank holiday

In the UK, bank holidays are public holidays when banks, post offices, and many other businesses are closed. This means that you cannot send mail through the Royal Mail on a bank holiday.

However, you can still send mail on a bank holiday if you use a private courier service, such as UPS, FedEx, or DHL. These companies may still operate on bank holidays, but it's always best to check with them beforehand to confirm their operating hours and any potential delays.

If you need to send mail on a bank holiday, you can also consider using a postal box or a mailbox service that is open 24/7. These services allow you to deposit your mail at any time, including on bank holidays.

It's worth noting that while you can't send mail through the Royal Mail on a bank holiday, you can still collect mail from a postbox or a post office on a bank holiday. However, you may not be able to send mail or access certain services at a post office on a bank holiday.
