Royal mail deliver on bank holiday

In the United Kingdom, Royal Mail, the national postal service, typically operates on a reduced schedule on bank holidays. Here's what you can expect:

  1. No collections or deliveries: Royal Mail does not collect or deliver mail on bank holidays. This means that any mail sent on the day before a bank holiday will not be collected or delivered until the next working day.
  2. Post offices closed: Royal Mail post offices are usually closed on bank holidays, so you won't be able to send or collect mail on these days.
  3. Special arrangements for some services: While Royal Mail doesn't deliver mail on bank holidays, some special services like Special Delivery and Signed For services may still be available on these days, but with limited hours and availability. You can check with your local post office or Royal Mail's website for more information.
  4. Bank holiday delivery: If you need to send a parcel or letter on a bank holiday, you can do so at a post office or online, but it will be processed on the next working day.
