Do royal mail collect post on a sunday

In the United Kingdom, Royal Mail's standard delivery services do not operate on Sundays. This means that they do not collect mail or parcels on Sundays.

However, there are some exceptions and additional services that may operate on Sundays:

  1. Special Delivery Guaranteed: This service is available 7 days a week, including Sundays. If you need to send a parcel or letter that requires a signature on delivery, you can use this service.
  2. Sunday Delivery: In some areas, Royal Mail offers Sunday delivery for certain services, such as Special Delivery Guaranteed and Signed For 1pm. However, this is not a standard service and is only available in specific locations.
  3. ParcelShop: Royal Mail has a network of ParcelShops, which are open on Sundays in some locations. You can drop off your parcels at these shops on Sundays, but they will not be collected.
  4. Post Office: Some Post Office branches are open on Sundays, and you can use them to send mail and parcels. However, this is not a Royal Mail service, and the Post Office may have different opening hours and services available.

It's always best to check with Royal Mail or the specific Post Office branch you plan to use to confirm their Sunday opening hours and services before sending your mail or parcels.
