How long does royal mail first class parcels take

Royal Mail First Class Parcels are typically delivered within 1-3 working days, but the exact delivery time can vary depending on several factors, including:

1. Destination: Delivery times may vary depending on the location within the UK. For example, parcels sent to urban areas may be delivered faster than those sent to rural areas.
2. Weight and size: Larger or heavier parcels may take longer to deliver due to the need for special handling and transportation.
3. Time of posting: Parcels posted during peak periods (e.g., Christmas) may take longer to deliver due to increased volumes.
4. Weather conditions: Inclement weather, such as heavy snow or flooding, can affect delivery times.

Here are some general guidelines for Royal Mail First Class Parcels:

• Within the same region (e.g., London to London): 1-2 working days
• Within the same country (e.g., London to Manchester): 1-3 working days
• To Northern Ireland: 2-4 working days
