Do royal mail collect on weekends

Royal Mail, the UK's postal service, typically does not collect mail on weekends. Here's what you need to know:

1. Standard Collection: Royal Mail's standard collection service is Monday to Friday, from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm. They do not collect mail on weekends (Saturdays and Sundays).
2. Special Delivery: For Special Delivery items, such as signed-for mail, Royal Mail may collect on Saturdays, but this is not guaranteed. It's best to check with your local post office or Royal Mail's website for specific information.
3. Post Office Collection: If you have a Post Office branch nearby, you can deposit your mail there on a Saturday. However, please note that not all Post Office branches are open on Saturdays, so it's best to check their opening hours before visiting.
4. Business Mail: If you're a business customer, you may have a dedicated mail collection service. In this case, Royal Mail may collect your mail on weekends, but this would depend on your specific agreement with them.

To confirm Royal Mail's collection schedule for your area, you can:

• Visit the Royal Mail website and use their "Find a Postcode" tool to check the collection times for your specific postcode.
• Contact your local post office or Royal Mail customer service team for more information.

Remember to plan ahead and allow sufficient time for your mail to be collected and delivered.
