Royal mail delivery bank holiday

Royal Mail delivery schedules can vary on bank holidays in the United Kingdom. Here's what you need to know:

Bank Holiday Delivery Schedules:

  1. No collections or deliveries: On bank holidays, Royal Mail does not collect or deliver mail and parcels. This includes special delivery, signed-for, and tracked items.
  2. Post offices closed: Royal Mail post offices are usually closed on bank holidays, but some larger post offices may have limited hours or be open for a shorter period.
  3. Delivery offices closed: Royal Mail delivery offices are also closed on bank holidays, which means that any mail or parcels that would normally be delivered on a bank holiday will be delivered on the next working day.
  4. Special arrangements for some services: Some Royal Mail services, like Special Delivery Guaranteed and Signed For, may have special arrangements in place for bank holidays. These services may be delivered on the next working day, but this is not guaranteed.
