Royal Mail aims to deliver to all addresses it has mail for, six days a week.
However, this is not always possible due to resourcing issues, high levels of staff sickness absences, local factors and sometimes poor weather conditions.
Today, Monday June 26, Royal Mail assured customers that “deliveries are operating as normal”, aside from a “small number” of local offices affected by delays.
Royal Mail assured customers that in these cases, the postal service will rotate deliveries to minimise the delay to individual customers.
It will also provide targeted support to those offices to address their challenges and restore Royal Mail’s service to its regular high standards.
