Royal.mail saturday deliveries

A question about the good old Royal Mail!

As of 2019, Royal Mail, the UK's postal service, no longer delivers mail on Saturdays. This change was implemented to reduce costs and improve efficiency.

Prior to 2019, Royal Mail delivered mail on Saturdays, but this was a costly and labor-intensive process. The company decided to stop Saturday deliveries to focus on more profitable areas of their business, such as parcel delivery and online services.

However, it's worth noting that Royal Mail still delivers parcels and packages on Saturdays, as well as on Sundays and Bank Holidays, through their Parcelforce and Special Delivery services.

If you're looking for a way to send mail on a Saturday, you may want to consider using a private courier service, such as Parcel Monkey or My Hermes, which may still offer Saturday delivery options.

It's also worth noting that some businesses, such as banks and building societies, may still have Saturday opening hours and may be able to receive mail on Saturdays. However, this is not a standard service offered by Royal Mail.

I hope that helps clarify things!
