Royal mail santa post
The Royal Mail's Santa's Post service is a popular annual tradition in the United Kingdom. Here's how it works:
What is Santa's Post?
Santa's Post is a special postal service offered by Royal Mail, where children can send their letters to Santa Claus at the North Pole. The service is designed to make the magic of Christmas even more special for kids.
How does it work?
- Children write their letters to Santa Claus and address them to "Santa, North Pole".
- They then post their letters in a special Santa's Post envelope, which can be purchased at participating post offices or online.
- Royal Mail's special sorting office in Birmingham sorts the letters and sends them to Santa's Post headquarters.
- Santa's elves then respond to the letters, writing back to the children and sending them a special reply.
- The replies are then sent back to the children through Royal Mail's normal postal service.
When can I send my letter to Santa?
The Royal Mail's Santa's Post service usually starts in late November and runs until December 10th. After this date, Royal Mail will no longer accept letters to Santa.
How much does it cost?
The cost of sending a letter to Santa varies depending on the size and weight of the envelope. You can purchase a Santa's Post envelope at a participating post office or online for a small fee, which usually ranges from £1.50 to £2.50.
Tips and reminders
- Make sure to use a special Santa's Post envelope, as this helps Royal Mail's sorting office identify the letters.
- Write your child's name and address on the envelope, so Santa can respond directly to them.
- Don't forget to include a stamp on the envelope!
- The Royal Mail's Santa's Post service is only available for children under the age of 16.
