Royal Mail is the United Kingdom's official postal service, and it processes a vast volume of mail every day. Here's an overview of the processing steps involved:

  1. Collection: Mail is collected from postboxes, post offices, and businesses across the UK.
  2. Sorting: Collected mail is taken to a Mail Centre, where it is sorted into different categories, such as:
    • Letters (up to 100g)
    • Large Letters (100g-750g)
    • Parcels (up to 2kg)
    • Special Delivery items (e.g., signed-for, tracked, and insured)
  3. Optical Character Reader (OCR) scanning: Mail is scanned using OCR technology to read the addresses and sort the mail automatically.
  4. Automated Sorting: Mail is then sorted using automated machines, which use the OCR data to direct the mail to the correct destination.
  5. Manual Sorting: Mail that cannot be sorted automatically is sorted manually by Royal Mail staff.
  6. Bagging: Sorted mail is then placed into bags, which are sealed and labeled with the destination postcodes.
  7. Transportation: Bags are transported to the next stage of processing, which may involve:
    • Mail Centre: Mail is sorted and processed at a Mail Centre, where it is prepared for onward transportation.
    • Delivery Office: Mail is sorted and prepared for delivery at a Delivery Office.
  8. Delivery: Mail is delivered to the recipient's address by Royal Mail postmen and women.
  9. Tracking and Monitoring: Royal Mail uses tracking and monitoring systems to ensure that mail is delivered efficiently and effectively.

Royal Mail uses a range of technologies and processes to ensure that mail is processed quickly and accurately. However, with the increasing volume of mail and the complexity of modern mail processing, there may be occasional delays or issues.
