When do the royal mail stop delivering

Royal Mail, the UK's postal service, typically delivers mail and parcels on weekdays, Monday to Friday. However, the exact delivery times and days may vary depending on the location and type of delivery.

Here are some general guidelines on when Royal Mail typically stops delivering:

  1. Standard Delivery: Royal Mail's standard delivery service usually stops delivering around 3-4 pm, Monday to Friday.
  2. Special Delivery: For Special Delivery items, Royal Mail aims to deliver by 1 pm, Monday to Friday.
  3. Saturday Delivery: Royal Mail offers a Saturday delivery service for some areas, but this is not a standard service. Saturday delivery times may vary, but it's usually around 12 pm.
  4. Sunday Delivery: Royal Mail does not typically deliver on Sundays, except for some special services like Special Delivery and Courier services.

Please note that these are general guidelines, and actual delivery times may vary depending on your location, the type of delivery, and other factors. If you're concerned about a specific delivery, you can contact Royal Mail's customer service or track your parcel online to get the latest updates.

It's also worth mentioning that Royal Mail has a "cut-off" time for accepting mail and parcels for same-day delivery. This cut-off time varies depending on the location and type of delivery, but it's usually around 1-2 pm, Monday to Friday. If you're sending a parcel or mail, make sure to get it to the post office or a Royal Mail collection point before the cut-off time to ensure same-day delivery.
