Does royal mail work bank holiday
Royal Mail's services and operations may be affected by bank holidays in the UK. Here's what you can expect:
Post Offices:
- Most Post Offices are closed on bank holidays, except for a few larger ones that may be open for limited hours.
- You can check the opening hours of your local Post Office before a bank holiday to confirm.
Delivery Services:
- Royal Mail's delivery services, including First Class and Second Class mail, will still operate on bank holidays, but with some exceptions:
- Special Delivery Guaranteed by 1pm and Special Delivery Guaranteed by 9am services may not be available on bank holidays.
- Royal Mail's tracked services, such as Tracked 24 and Tracked 48, may be affected, and delivery times may be longer than usual.
- Royal Mail's delivery teams may work on bank holidays, but the volume of mail may be lower, which could impact delivery times.
Collection Services:
- Royal Mail's collection services, including mail collection from businesses and households, will still operate on bank holidays.
Online Services:
- Royal Mail's online services, such as tracking and online postage, will be available as usual, even on bank holidays.
It's always a good idea to check the Royal Mail website or contact your local Post Office before a bank holiday to confirm their opening hours and any potential service disruptions.
