Saturday royal mail delivery

In the United Kingdom, Royal Mail typically delivers mail and parcels on Saturdays, but there are some exceptions and variations to be aware of:

  1. Standard Delivery: Royal Mail's standard delivery service, which includes letters and parcels, is usually delivered on Saturdays, except for certain areas and special circumstances.
  2. Special Delivery: Royal Mail's Special Delivery service, which provides guaranteed next-day delivery, is not typically delivered on Saturdays. Instead, it's usually delivered on the next working day (Monday to Friday).
  3. Bank Holidays: Royal Mail does not deliver on bank holidays, which are public holidays in the UK. If a bank holiday falls on a Saturday, Royal Mail will deliver on the preceding Friday.
  4. Christmas and New Year's: Royal Mail has special delivery arrangements during the Christmas and New Year's period. In recent years, they have delivered on Saturdays leading up to Christmas and on the first Saturday after New Year's Day.
  5. Regional Variations: In some areas, Royal Mail may not deliver on Saturdays due to local circumstances or industrial action. If you're unsure about Saturday delivery in your area, you can contact Royal Mail or check their website.
  6. Private Couriers: Private courier services, such as ParcelForce, TNT, and DHL, may have different delivery schedules and may not deliver on Saturdays.
