Royal Mail 24 Delays For Anyone Else?
Evening All,
We are posting items from our London location and are experiencing significant delays with mail at the moment. We use Royal Mail 24 and items aren’t arriving for 3-4 days.
Are others experiencing the same at the moment?

Crikey, which planet is London on again?
3-4 days is a luxury during a global pandemic!

You seriously don’t realise how lucky you are. Mine arrive through a range of 1-3 weeks atm.

3-4 days? I would be happy with that.
We’ve just received a sack of returns that go back over two weeks, so I think that we have a long way to go before the madness and inconvenience caused by Covid is over.

Thanks for the responses. I wasn’t compaining about it myself, it just becomes a bit stressful when multiple buyers start asking where their items are and we are doing everying in our power to get them despatched ASAP.

Changes to service
Temporary change to postal arrangements on Saturdays
Our postmen and postwomen are working very hard across the UK in challenging conditions. As we said at the start of the coronavirus crisis, there will be some disruption to services. Relevant factors include high levels of coronavirus-related absences and necessary social distancing measures.
We understand the importance of the postal service in keeping the UK connected at this time. We have also listened to our hard-working colleagues who have asked us to ease the additional burden on them if possible. As a result, we are making some temporary changes to postal services.
From 2 May we will temporarily no longer deliver letters on a Saturday. We will continue to provide a letter delivery service from Monday to Friday as normal. The majority of parcel services will be delivered on a Saturday including 1st and 2nd Class Parcels, Royal Mail Tracked 24 and 48, Royal Mail Tracked Returns, Special Delivery Guaranteed and International tracked services.
Customers should continue to post both letters and parcels as usual on Saturday. We will continue our Saturday collections from businesses, post offices and post boxes as normal.
We will resume the six-day-a-week delivery of letters and parcels from June 13.

Yeah, got a few customer orders that got delayed for more than a week. Even for my personal parcels I have to wait almost 2 weeks to arrive.
