Do postman deliver mail throigh your door on bank holidays

In the United Kingdom, the Royal Mail's delivery policy on bank holidays varies depending on the type of mail and the specific bank holiday.

Standard Mail Delivery:

For standard mail, such as letters and parcels, the Royal Mail usually does not deliver on bank holidays. This means that if a bank holiday falls on a day when mail would normally be delivered to your door, it will be held back until the next working day.

Special Delivery and Guaranteed Next Day Services:

For special delivery and guaranteed next day services, such as Special Delivery Guaranteed and Guaranteed Next Day Delivery, the Royal Mail may still deliver on bank holidays, but this is not guaranteed. If a bank holiday falls on a day when these services would normally be delivered, the Royal Mail will make every effort to deliver on the next working day.

Collection Points:

If you have a collection point, such as a postbox or a Royal Mail collection point, you can still deposit mail on bank holidays. However, please note that collections may be delayed or not made at all on bank holidays.

Private Mailbox Services:

If you have a private mailbox service, such as a mailbox rental or a mail forwarding service, the delivery policy may vary depending on the specific service provider. Some private mailbox services may still deliver on bank holidays, while others may not.

In summary, while the Royal Mail does not typically deliver standard mail on bank holidays, special delivery and guaranteed next day services may still be delivered, and private mailbox services may have their own delivery policies.
