Royal Mail’s busiest day
As a member of Postwatch, the consumer watchdog for postal services, I am aware that Royal Mail is now experiencing its busiest time of the year, handling an anticipated over 2 billion letters and cards during the festive period.
Proving that Santa isn’t the only one working hard over Christmas, Royal Mail predicts that today will be its busiest day of the year. 123 million items are expected to enter the system today compared to an average daily figure of 83 million.
By the way, the last recommended posting dates for UK mail are Thursday 20 December for 1st Class and Tuesday 18 December for 2nd Class items.
