Royal mail 1st class delivery times for parcels
According to Royal Mail's website, the estimated delivery times for 1st Class parcels are:
- Monday to Saturday: 1-3 working days
- Sunday: Not delivered
Please note that these are estimated delivery times and may vary depending on various factors, such as:
- The origin and destination of the parcel
- The time of day the parcel is sent
- The level of service chosen (e.g. 1st Class, 1st Class Signed For, etc.)
- Any unforeseen circumstances that may affect delivery (e.g. bad weather, traffic congestion, etc.)
Here are some additional details to keep in mind:
- Royal Mail aims to deliver 1st Class parcels by 1pm the next working day, but this is not guaranteed.
- If you need a guaranteed delivery time, you may want to consider using a tracked service, such as Royal Mail Tracked 24 or Royal Mail Tracked 48.
- Royal Mail does not deliver on Sundays, except for certain special services, such as Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed.
- If you are sending a parcel to a remote or rural area, delivery times may be longer than usual.
It's always a good idea to check the Royal Mail website for the latest information on delivery times and to track your parcel if you're concerned about its whereabouts.
