How long is royal mail pickup

Royal Mail, the UK's postal service, offers various pickup options for customers. The length of time it takes for Royal Mail to collect mail and packages depends on the type of service you choose. Here are some general guidelines:

  1. Standard Collection: This is the most common pickup service. Royal Mail will collect your mail and packages on a designated day, usually between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM, Monday to Friday. The collection time may vary depending on your location and the volume of mail in your area.
  2. Saturday Collection: If you need your mail collected on a Saturday, you can request a Saturday collection. This service is available in some areas, and the collection time is usually between 9:00 AM and 1:00 PM.
  3. Express Collection: For urgent deliveries, Royal Mail offers an Express Collection service. This service is available for an additional fee and guarantees a same-day collection, usually between 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM.
  4. Special Delivery: If you need to send a package that requires a signature upon delivery, you can use Royal Mail's Special Delivery service. This service is available for an additional fee and guarantees a next-day delivery, with a collection time usually between 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM.

Please note that these times are approximate and may vary depending on your location and the volume of mail in your area. It's always best to check with your local Royal Mail office or online for the most up-to-date information on pickup times and services.
