Do royal mail collect parcels on saturdays
In the UK, Royal Mail's standard delivery services do not operate on Saturdays. However, there are some exceptions and additional services that may collect parcels on Saturdays:
- Special Delivery Guaranteed: This service is available for parcels that need to be delivered on a Saturday. You can request Saturday delivery when booking your parcel online or at a Post Office branch.
- Saturday Delivery: Some Royal Mail Delivery Offices may offer Saturday delivery for parcels, but this is not a standard service. You'll need to check with your local Delivery Office to see if they offer this service.
- Parcelforce: Parcelforce, a subsidiary of Royal Mail, does offer Saturday delivery for some of its services, including Parcelforce 24 and Parcelforce 48. However, this may incur an additional fee.
- Private courier services: Some private courier services, like DHL, UPS, and FedEx, may offer Saturday delivery for an additional fee.
To confirm whether Royal Mail will collect your parcel on a Saturday, you can:
- Check the Royal Mail website for specific information on Saturday delivery for your chosen service.
- Contact your local Royal Mail Delivery Office or a Post Office branch to ask about Saturday collection options.
- Check with the sender or the company you're sending the parcel to, as they may have specific arrangements for Saturday delivery.
Remember to always check the delivery options and estimated delivery times before sending your parcel to ensure it arrives on time.
