Does first class royal mail deliver on sunday

In the United Kingdom, Royal Mail's First Class mail service typically does not deliver on Sundays. Royal Mail's standard delivery days are Monday to Saturday, and they do not deliver on Sundays, except for certain special circumstances.

However, there are some exceptions and additional services that may deliver on Sundays:

  1. Special Delivery Guaranteed by 1pm: This service is available for an additional fee and guarantees delivery by 1 pm on a Saturday. While it's not a standard Sunday delivery, it's an option for those who need urgent delivery on a weekend.
  2. Sunday Delivery: Royal Mail offers Sunday delivery for certain areas, primarily in urban centers, for an additional fee. This service is usually available for business-to-business (B2B) deliveries and may not be available for residential addresses.
  3. Parcelforce Sunday Delivery: Parcelforce, a Royal Mail subsidiary, offers Sunday delivery for parcels and packages. This service is available for an additional fee and is typically used for business-to-business (B2B) deliveries.

To confirm whether your specific package will be delivered on a Sunday, you can:

  1. Check the Royal Mail website for more information on Sunday delivery.
  2. Contact Royal Mail customer service to inquire about Sunday delivery options for your specific package.
  3. Check with the sender or the recipient to see if they have arranged for Sunday delivery.

Keep in mind that Sunday delivery may not be available for all areas or packages, so it's always best to check with Royal Mail or the sender to confirm.
