Does royal mail collect post on christmas eve

According to Royal Mail's official website, they do not guarantee to collect mail on Christmas Eve (December 24th). In fact, they recommend that you post your items by December 18th to ensure they arrive on time.

However, Royal Mail does offer a special Christmas delivery service, which allows you to send items up to 23:59 on December 24th for delivery on Christmas Day. This service is available for certain types of mail, such as:

To use this service, you'll need to make sure you post your item at a Royal Mail postbox or at a Post Office branch that is open on Christmas Eve. You can find your nearest postbox or Post Office branch on Royal Mail's website.

It's also worth noting that some Royal Mail postboxes may be closed on Christmas Eve, so it's a good idea to check the opening hours of your local postbox before posting your item.

If you're unsure about the collection times or services available in your area, you can contact Royal Mail's customer service team for more information.
