How long will royal mail attempt parcel delivery
Royal Mail, the UK's postal service, has a policy of attempting to deliver parcels up to three times before considering them undelivered. Here's a breakdown of their delivery attempts:
- First attempt: Royal Mail will make the first delivery attempt within 1-3 working days of posting, depending on the service chosen (e.g., 1st Class, 2nd Class, etc.).
- Second attempt: If the parcel is not delivered on the first attempt, Royal Mail will make a second attempt within 1-3 working days of the first attempt.
- Third attempt: If the parcel is still not delivered after the second attempt, Royal Mail will make a third and final attempt within 1-3 working days of the second attempt.
If the parcel is not delivered after three attempts, it will be returned to the sender as "undelivered" and may be subject to additional charges.
It's worth noting that Royal Mail may also attempt to deliver parcels on Saturdays, if the sender has opted for a Saturday delivery service.
If you're concerned about the delivery of a parcel, you can:
- Track your parcel online using Royal Mail's tracking service.
- Contact Royal Mail's customer service team to inquire about the status of your parcel.
- Consider using a tracking number to monitor the parcel's progress.
Remember to check the Royal Mail website for specific delivery times and policies, as they may vary depending on the service chosen and the destination.
