Do royal mail do two deliveries

Royal Mail, the UK's postal service, does offer a service called "Second Delivery" or "Second Attempt Delivery" in some areas. This service allows them to make a second delivery attempt on a specific day if the first delivery attempt is unsuccessful.

Here are the details:

  1. Eligibility: Second Delivery is available for certain postcodes and areas, mainly in urban areas with high foot traffic. You can check if your postcode is eligible on Royal Mail's website.
  2. How it works: If the first delivery attempt is unsuccessful (e.g., the recipient is not home), Royal Mail will make a second delivery attempt on the same day, usually within a few hours. This is subject to the delivery office's schedule and availability.
  3. Additional fee: There is no additional fee for Second Delivery, as it's included in the standard delivery service.
  4. Limitations: Second Delivery is not available for all types of mail, such as large or heavy items, or items that require a signature on delivery.
  5. Alternative options: If Second Delivery is not available in your area, you can consider using Royal Mail's "Redelivery" service, which allows you to redirect your mail to a different address or a local post office.
