Royal mail delivery times first class
According to Royal Mail's guidelines, the estimated delivery times for First Class mail in the UK 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 time of posting: If you post your item at the end of the day, it may not be processed until the next working day.
- The destination: Delivery times may be longer for rural areas or areas with limited postal services.
- Weather conditions: Inclement weather may cause delays in delivery.
- High volumes of mail: During peak periods, such as Christmas, delivery times may be longer due to increased volumes of mail.
It's also worth noting that Royal Mail aims to deliver 93% of First Class mail within 1 working day, and 97% within 2 working days.
If you're concerned about the delivery time of your item, you can track your parcel using Royal Mail's Track and Confirm service, which provides updates on the status of your delivery.
