Do you get mail on bank holidays
In the United Kingdom, mail delivery is affected by bank holidays, which are public holidays when banks and many other businesses are closed. Here's what you can expect:
- Royal Mail (the UK's postal service) usually delivers mail on bank holidays, but with some exceptions:
- If a bank holiday falls on a Saturday, mail delivery may be delayed until the next working day (Monday).
- If a bank holiday falls on a Sunday, mail delivery will still take place as usual.
- However, some special services like Special Delivery, Signed For, and Guaranteed Next Day Delivery may not be available on bank holidays.
- Parcel delivery services, like courier companies, may also be affected by bank holidays, and delivery times may be delayed.
It's always a good idea to check with your local post office or the Royal Mail website for specific information on mail delivery during bank holidays.
In other countries, the rules may vary. If you're unsure about mail delivery on bank holidays in your country, you can check with your local postal service or government website for more information.
