When do royal mail stop delivering
Royal Mail, the UK's postal service, typically stops delivering mail and parcels on certain days and at specific times. Here are some general guidelines:
- Standard Delivery: Royal Mail's standard delivery service usually stops at around 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm, Monday to Friday. However, this may vary depending on the location and the volume of mail being delivered.
- Special Delivery: For Special Delivery items, Royal Mail aims to deliver them by 1 pm on the next working day. If you're not home, a card will be left with instructions on how to arrange redelivery or collect your item from a local post office.
- Saturday Delivery: Royal Mail typically stops delivering mail and parcels on Saturdays at around 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm. However, some areas may have later cut-off times.
- Bank Holidays: Royal Mail does not deliver on bank holidays, which are public holidays in the UK. If your item is due to be delivered on a bank holiday, it will be delivered on the next working day.
- Christmas and New Year's: Royal Mail has special delivery arrangements during the Christmas and New Year's period. They usually stop delivering on Christmas Day (December 25) and New Year's Day (January 1). For more information, check their website.
