Royal Mail Special Delivery tracking 'item retention'

Does it mean because you didn’t pay for Saturday special it’s being held til Monday cos they’ve no staff to deliver it? Something like that anyway I think

Would the location in london have a block on at certain times for deliveries on a saturday or a road block for protests.
Would it also be a case of the book shop has a thing with RM not to delivery on saturdays and to only deliver weekdays.

just thoughts

sounds like a fancy way of saying ‘not yet delivered’

It may be that the person at the destination address has asked RM not to deliver on Saturdays or like us RM don’t do deliveries to the estate we are on because nearly all the businesses’ on the estate are closed on weekends so they refuse to deliver to the odd address
