Do royal mail deliver on new years
Royal Mail's delivery schedules and services may be affected by New Year's Day (January 1st) in the United Kingdom. Here's what you can expect:
- Post Office Counters: Most Post Office counters will be open on New Year's Day, but it's best to check with your local branch beforehand to confirm their opening hours.
- Royal Mail Delivery: Royal Mail will not deliver mail on New Year's Day (January 1st). This is because it's a public holiday, and their delivery teams will be taking a break.
- Special Delivery: Royal Mail's Special Delivery service, which guarantees next-day delivery, will not be available on New Year's Day. Any items sent using this service will be delivered on the next working day.
- Standard Delivery: Standard delivery services, including First Class and Second Class mail, will not be affected by the public holiday. Mail sent before the holiday will be delivered as usual, but any mail sent on New Year's Day will be processed and delivered on the next working day.
- Collection: Royal Mail will not collect mail on New Year's Day. If you have a scheduled collection, it will be rescheduled for the next working day.
Please note that these arrangements may vary depending on your location and the specific services you use. It's always a good idea to check with Royal Mail or your local Post Office for the most up-to-date information before sending or expecting mail on New Year's Day.
