US EditionIs the Post Office System Down? Royal Mail Users Report Network Issues
ENGLAND, UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 16 – Ofcom’s ruling ends Saturday second-class deliveries, affecting thousands amid ongoing service disruptions and over 600 outage reports, critics say it worsens delays for users.
- On July 10, Ofcom ruled that the United Kingdom no longer requires Royal Mail to deliver second-class post on Saturdays, citing operational changes.
- Hundreds of Post Office and Royal Mail users reported outages, and DownDetector recorded over 600 reports since 1.30pm, Post Office spokesperson on X said `I can only apologise for the inconvenience caused.`
- MacCleary accused the regulator of `letting Royal Mail off the hook`, warning it will worsen delays for residents and saying it leaves people in the lurch across Seaford, Lewes, Newhaven and Polegate.
- Users turned to other platforms to complain, with frustrated customers asking `When are your systems going to be back up?` and `What up with systems? Been waiting to send letter special delivery and they are saying systems down.`
- MacCleary said the decision undermines postal staff work and called for greater accountability, while Post Office spokesperson on X said services will resume by 4pm today.
