Does royal mail move parcels closed on bank holidays
According to Royal Mail's website, they do not collect or deliver parcels on bank holidays. This means that if you have a parcel scheduled for collection or delivery on a bank holiday, it will be delayed until the next working day.
Here are the specific details from Royal Mail's website:
- "We do not collect or deliver parcels on bank holidays. If your parcel is due for collection on a bank holiday, our collectors will collect it on the next working day."
- "If your parcel is due for delivery on a bank holiday, it will be delivered on the next working day."
Bank holidays in the UK are:
- New Year's Day (January 1st)
- Good Friday
- Easter Monday
- Early May Bank Holiday (first Monday in May)
- Spring Bank Holiday (last Monday in May)
- Summer Bank Holiday (last Monday in August, except in Scotland where it's the first Monday in August)
- Christmas Day (December 25th)
- Boxing Day (December 26th)
It's always a good idea to check with Royal Mail or the sender of your parcel to confirm their bank holiday delivery schedule, as it may vary depending on the specific service you're using.
