How many times do royal mail try to deliver

According to Royal Mail's guidelines, their delivery attempts are as follows:

1. First Attempt: Royal Mail will make their first delivery attempt on the scheduled delivery day, usually between 9 am and 5 pm.
2. Second Attempt: If the item is not delivered on the first attempt, Royal Mail will make a second attempt on the next working day (Monday to Saturday).
3. Third Attempt: If the item is still not delivered after the second attempt, Royal Mail will leave a "Something for You" card at the recipient's address, indicating that they have tried to deliver the item three times.
4. Fourth Attempt: If the item is still not delivered after the third attempt, Royal Mail will not make further attempts to deliver the item. Instead, they will hold the item at their local delivery office for collection by the recipient.

It's worth noting that Royal Mail may make additional attempts to deliver an item if:

• The item is a high-value or sensitive item, such as a parcel containing jewelry or a valuable item.
• The item requires a signature upon delivery.
• The recipient has requested a specific delivery time or date.

In these cases, Royal Mail may make additional attempts to deliver the item, up to a maximum of five attempts.
