Does the royal mail deliver on new year's eve

According to the Royal Mail's website, they typically operate a reduced service on New Year's Eve (December 31st) and New Year's Day (January 1st).

On New Year's Eve, Royal Mail's delivery times may be affected, and some services may be delayed or suspended. They usually aim to deliver mail and parcels as usual, but the exact delivery times may vary depending on the location and the type of service used.

Here are some general guidelines:
