How long does royal mail second class take at christmas

Royal Mail's Second Class mail service is generally slower than their First Class service, and the delivery times can vary depending on the destination and the time of year.

At Christmas, Royal Mail's Second Class mail service can take longer to deliver due to the increased volume of mail and the pressure on their network. Here are some estimated delivery times for Royal Mail's Second Class mail service at Christmas:

• Within the UK:
  • 2-3 working days (Monday to Friday) for most areas
  • 3-5 working days for some rural areas
• To the Channel Islands and Isle of Man:
  • 3-5 working days
• To Europe:
  • 5-7 working days
• To the rest of the world:
  • 7-10 working days

Please note that these are estimated delivery times and may vary depending on the specific destination and the time of year. Royal Mail also advises that delivery times may be longer during peak periods, such as Christmas.

It's also worth noting that Royal Mail offers a range of special services and guarantees for Christmas mail, including:

• Royal Mail's Christmas Guarantee: This guarantees that your mail will be delivered by Christmas Day, as long as it's sent by a certain date.
• Royal Mail's Special Delivery Guaranteed: This guarantees that your mail will be delivered by a specific date, and offers compensation if it's not delivered on time.
