How long does 2nd class royal mail take

The delivery time for 2nd Class Royal Mail in the UK depends on the specific service and the destination. Here are some general guidelines:

• 2nd Class Royal Mail:
  • Within the UK: 3-5 working days (Monday to Saturday)
  • To the Channel Islands and Isle of Man: 5-7 working days
  • To Europe: 5-10 working days
  • To the rest of the world: 10-20 working days
• 2nd Class Signed: This service is similar to 2nd Class, but it requires a signature upon delivery. Delivery times are the same as above.
• 2nd Class Large Letter: This service is for larger letters and packets up to 24cm x 16.5cm x 2.5cm in size. Delivery times are the same as above.

Please note that these are estimated delivery times and may vary depending on various factors, such as:

• The efficiency of the postal service
• The distance between the sender and the recipient
• The type of mail (e.g., letters, packets, or parcels)
• Any customs or clearance issues

It's also worth noting that Royal Mail aims to deliver 98% of 2nd Class mail within 3-5 working days, but this is not a guaranteed service. If you need a faster or more reliable service, you may want to consider using 1st Class Royal Mail or a courier service.
