How much notice to give royal mail
According to Royal Mail's guidelines, the amount of notice required to cancel or change a mail service depends on the type of service and the circumstances. Here are some general guidelines:
- Standard Mail Services: For standard mail services like First Class and Second Class, you don't need to give any notice to cancel or change the service. You can simply stop using the service and Royal Mail will stop delivering to your address.
- Guaranteed Services: For guaranteed services like Special Delivery and Signed For, you need to give at least 7 days' notice to cancel or change the service. This is because these services require a specific delivery date and time, and Royal Mail needs time to adjust their schedules.
- Business Mail Services: For business mail services like Business Mail and Business Post, you may need to give more notice depending on the specific service and agreement you have with Royal Mail. Check your contract or agreement for specific notice periods.
- Special Services: For special services like tracked and signed services, you may need to give more notice depending on the specific service and the circumstances. For example, if you're cancelling a tracked service, you may need to give at least 14 days' notice.
It's always a good idea to check with Royal Mail directly to confirm the notice period required for your specific service and circumstances. You can contact them by phone, email, or through their website.
Remember to also check your contract or agreement with Royal Mail to see if there are any specific notice periods or requirements for cancelling or changing your mail service.
