Royal Mail issues delay warning to 14 postcodes after 'no deliveries' last week — full list

Royal Mail issues delay warning to 14 postcodes after 'no deliveries' last week — full list Some areas won't receive mail on time Royal Mail has issued a disruption alert for postcode areas across the UK. It comes after the firm made "no deliveries or collections" last week due to the Spring Bank Holiday. On Monday, May 25, Royal Mail services did not operate. Royal Mail said: "We deliver and collect your mail on most days of the year, including Saturdays. However, we don’t usually deliver or collect on public or local holidays." Services resumed the following day, yet as of Monday, June 1, there are more delays in some areas of the UK. Parts of London, Nottingham and Leamington Spa are among the 14 areas affected. Royal Mail said: "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. "In those cases, we will rotate deliveries to minimise the delay to individual customers. We also provide targeted support to those offices to address their challenges and restore our service to the high standard our customers would normally receive. "We're sorry for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding." Despite the delays, Royal Mail's air and road network has ran to schedule over the past 24 hours. Royal Mail has faced criticism over late deliveries and was fined £21 million by Ofcom in October. It was issued for missing targets after it delivered just 77% of First Class post and 92.5% of Second Class post on time in 2024 to 2025. First Class Next Day delivery targets are aiming to improve to around 85% within nine months, before reaching the 90% target set by regulator Ofcom within a year. Royal Mail also vowed to deliver 93% of Second Class letters within three days over the course of nine months, and to hit the 95% target by May next year. Royal Mail said there was a "challenging start to the year" and insisted things were improving. By March, Royal Mail said it was delivering 81.1% of first class mail within one working day and 90.2% of second class mail within three working days. Jamie Stephenson, Royal Mail’s chief operating officer, said: “We’re putting significant investment into improving reliability and reaching these new delivery targets, but delivering lasting change across a network of this scale takes time. "Universal Service reform is a key part of that, helping us adapt the network to reflect how people send and receive mail today while protecting the one-price- goes-anywhere service for the future. "We have a plan to deploy the new delivery model to all delivery offices across the country by the Christmas peak period and have set clear targets for each quarter as changes are introduced across the network. Early performance this year shows we are tracking in line with the plan and moving in the right direction."
