Royal Mail explained that while it aims to deliver to all addresses it has mail for, six days a week, this is “temporarily” not possible in all offices.
“Deliveries are operating as normal across the UK today. We aim to deliver to all addresses we have mail for, six days a week.
“In a small number of local offices, this may temporarily not be possible due to local issues such as high levels of sick absence, resourcing, or other local factors.”
Royal Mail added: “If you need to collect an item for which we’ve left a ‘something for you’ card.”
