Do royal mail ask you to pay for redelivery
According to Royal Mail's policies, if a parcel is returned to them due to an unsuccessful delivery attempt, they will typically contact the sender (you) to arrange for redelivery.
In most cases, Royal Mail will not ask you to pay for redelivery. Instead, they will usually offer to redeliver the parcel at a later date, free of charge. This is because they want to ensure that the parcel reaches its intended recipient, and they are willing to make an additional delivery attempt to achieve this.
However, there are some exceptions where you might be asked to pay for redelivery:
- Special Delivery: If your parcel was sent using Royal Mail's Special Delivery service, you may be charged for redelivery if the parcel is returned to them due to an unsuccessful delivery attempt.
- International parcels: If your parcel is being sent internationally, you may be charged for redelivery if the parcel is returned to Royal Mail due to an unsuccessful delivery attempt.
- Large or heavy parcels: If your parcel is particularly large or heavy, you may be charged for redelivery if it requires a special delivery vehicle or additional handling.
In these cases, Royal Mail will typically contact you to discuss the redelivery options and any associated costs. They will also provide you with a quote for the redelivery fee, which you can choose to accept or decline.
It's always a good idea to check with Royal Mail directly if you have any concerns about redelivery fees or costs associated with your parcel.
