Do royal mail work on bank holiday monday
Royal Mail's delivery services are affected by bank holidays in the UK. Here's what you can expect:
- Post Offices: Most Post Offices are closed on Bank Holiday Mondays, except for a few that are open for limited hours. You can check the opening hours of your local Post Office before heading out.
- Delivery Services: Royal Mail's delivery services, including First Class and Second Class mail, are suspended on Bank Holiday Mondays. This means that any mail sent on the Friday before the Bank Holiday will not be delivered until the next working day.
- Special Delivery: Special Delivery services, which guarantee next-day delivery, are also suspended on Bank Holiday Mondays. If you need to send a Special Delivery item, you should aim to send it on the Thursday before the Bank Holiday to ensure delivery on the next working day.
- Parcelforce: Parcelforce, Royal Mail's parcel delivery service, is also affected by Bank Holidays. Any parcels sent on the Friday before the Bank Holiday will not be delivered until the next working day.
It's always a good idea to check the Royal Mail website or contact your local Post Office to confirm their opening hours and delivery schedules before sending any mail or parcels.
