What is rdc royal mail

RDC stands for "Rural Delivery Centre" and is a type of postal facility operated by Royal Mail, the UK's national postal service.

A Rural Delivery Centre is a smaller, more local post office or delivery hub that serves a specific rural area or community. These centers are typically located in smaller towns, villages, or rural areas where there may not be a full-service post office.

RDCs are designed to provide a range of postal services, including:

  1. Mail collection and sorting: RDCs collect mail from local postboxes and sort it for onward transmission to larger sorting centers.
  2. Mail delivery: RDCs deliver mail to local addresses, often using a combination of vans and bicycles.
  3. Post office services: Many RDCs offer basic post office services, such as selling stamps, sending parcels, and providing postal services for businesses.
  4. Counter services: RDCs may offer counter services, such as weighing and sending packages, printing postage, and providing assistance with online postal services.

RDCs are an important part of Royal Mail's network, helping to ensure that mail and parcels reach their destinations efficiently and effectively, even in more remote areas.
