Do royal mail process post on a saturday

In the United Kingdom, Royal Mail's standard delivery services do not operate on Saturdays. However, there are some exceptions and additional services that may be available on Saturdays, depending on the location and type of service. Here are some details:

  1. Standard Delivery: Royal Mail's standard delivery services, including First Class and Second Class mail, do not operate on Saturdays. Mail sent on a Friday will not be delivered until the following Monday.
  2. Special Delivery: Royal Mail's Special Delivery service, which guarantees next-day delivery, is available on Saturdays in some areas. However, this service is only available in certain postcodes and may incur an additional fee.
  3. Saturday Delivery: In some areas, Royal Mail offers a Saturday delivery service for an additional fee. This service is usually available for businesses and individuals who require urgent deliveries on Saturdays.
  4. Parcelforce: Parcelforce, a subsidiary of Royal Mail, operates a Saturday delivery service for parcels. This service is available for an additional fee and is usually only available for larger parcels and packages.
  5. Local Post Offices: Some local post offices may be open on Saturdays, but they may not have the same range of services as a main post office. You can check with your local post office to see if they are open on Saturdays and what services they offer.

It's always best to check with Royal Mail or your local post office to confirm their Saturday delivery services and any additional fees that may apply.
