Royal mail 2nd class delivery timescales
According to Royal Mail's website, the estimated delivery timescales for 2nd Class mail in the UK are:
- Monday to Saturday: 3-5 working days
- Sunday: Not delivered
Please note that these timescales are estimates and may vary depending on various factors, such as:
- The distance between the sender and the recipient
- The volume of mail being processed
- Inclement weather or other external factors
- The recipient's availability to receive the mail
It's also worth noting that Royal Mail aims to deliver 98% of 2nd Class mail within 3 working days, but this is not a guaranteed service.
Here are some additional details on Royal Mail's 2nd Class delivery timescales:
- For mail sent within the same region (e.g. London to London), delivery is usually within 1-2 working days.
- For mail sent between different regions (e.g. London to Manchester), delivery is usually within 2-3 working days.
- For mail sent to more remote areas (e.g. rural Scotland), delivery may take longer, typically 3-5 working days.
Keep in mind that these are general guidelines, and actual delivery times may vary. If you're concerned about the delivery of your mail, you can track your item using Royal Mail's Track and Confirm service.
