How to stop a royal mail delivery

If you need to stop a Royal Mail delivery, you can do so by contacting Royal Mail directly or using their online services. Here are the steps:

Contact Royal Mail

1. Call Royal Mail's customer service number: 03457 740 740 (Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm)
2. Explain to the customer service representative that you want to stop a delivery and provide the following information:
   • Your name and address
   • The delivery reference number (if you have it)
   • The reason for stopping the delivery (optional)

Online Services

1. Visit Royal Mail's website: www.royalmail.com
2. Click on "Track a parcel" and enter your tracking number
3. Click on "Stop delivery" and follow the prompts to confirm the stop

Additional Options

1. If you're unable to contact Royal Mail or stop the delivery online, you can also try contacting your local post office or visiting in person.
2. If you're trying to stop a delivery because you're not going to be at home, you can ask a neighbor or friend to accept the delivery on your behalf.

Important Notes

• You can only stop a delivery if it's still in transit. If the delivery has already been made, you'll need to contact the sender to arrange for the item to be returned.
• If you're trying to stop a delivery because you're moving or changing your address, you'll need to update your address with Royal Mail separately.
• Royal Mail may charge a fee for stopping a delivery, depending on the circumstances.

Remember to always keep your delivery details up to date to avoid any issues with your mail.
