Does royal mail deliver twice a day

In the United Kingdom, Royal Mail, the national postal service, typically delivers mail and parcels once a day, Monday to Saturday. However, there are some exceptions and additional services that may result in twice-a-day deliveries in certain circumstances. Here are some scenarios where you might receive twice-a-day deliveries:

  1. Special Delivery Guaranteed: This premium service guarantees delivery by 1 pm or 9 am, depending on the option chosen. If you opt for this service, your item will be delivered twice a day, with a signature required upon delivery.
  2. Saturday Delivery: Royal Mail offers Saturday delivery for an additional fee. If you choose this option, your item will be delivered on a Saturday, which may be considered a second delivery day.
  3. One-Clear-Day Delivery: This service is available for certain business customers and guarantees delivery within one working day. If you opt for this service, your item will be delivered twice a day, with a signature required upon delivery.
  4. Royal Mail Tracked 24: This service guarantees delivery by 6 pm on the next working day. While not strictly a twice-a-day delivery, it does offer faster delivery times than standard mail.
  5. Local Delivery Offices: In some areas, Royal Mail has local delivery offices that may deliver mail and parcels twice a day, especially in densely populated urban areas.

Please note that twice-a-day deliveries are not a standard service for all Royal Mail customers. The frequency of delivery depends on various factors, including the type of service chosen, the destination, and the volume of mail being delivered in your area.

If you're unsure about the delivery frequency for your specific package, you can contact Royal Mail customer service or check their website for more information.
