Does royal mail consider saturday as a working day
According to Royal Mail's official website, Saturday is not considered a working day for most of their services. They operate on a Monday to Friday schedule, with the exception of some special services and arrangements.
Here are some specific details:
- Standard Delivery: Royal Mail's standard delivery service, which includes First Class and Second Class mail, is not available on Saturdays.
- Special Delivery: Special Delivery, which provides guaranteed next-day delivery, is available on Saturdays, but only for certain postcodes and at an additional cost.
- Saturday Delivery: Royal Mail offers a Saturday delivery service for some businesses and individuals, but this is not a standard service and requires a specific agreement.
- Parcelforce: Parcelforce, Royal Mail's parcel delivery service, operates on a Monday to Friday schedule, with the exception of some special services and arrangements.
It's worth noting that Royal Mail's processing and sorting facilities may still operate on Saturdays, but this is not the same as delivering mail to customers.
If you're unsure about specific delivery times or arrangements, I recommend checking with Royal Mail directly or contacting your local post office for more information.
