    • In some rural areas, Royal Mail will deliver on Sundays from December 18th to December 23rd.
  2. Special Delivery Guaranteed: Royal Mail's Special Delivery Guaranteed service, which guarantees delivery by 1pm or 9am, will be available on Sundays during the Christmas period.
  3. Other services: Royal Mail's standard postal services, including First Class and Second Class, will not be delivered on Sundays.

To confirm whether Royal Mail will deliver on Sundays in your area during the Christmas period, you can:
