US EditionMajor Change to Royal Mail Delivery Rules to Start Tomorrow - Liverpool Echo
- Royal Mail will stop delivering second-class letters on Saturdays starting Monday, July 28, switching to an alternate weekday delivery schedule.
- This change follows Ofcom’s approval to end the six-day service due to rising costs and fewer letters being sent.
- Second-Class mail will be distributed on alternating sets of weekdays—either Monday, Wednesday, and Friday one week and Tuesday and Thursday the next—while first-class mail will continue to be delivered six days a week.
- Martin Seidenberg, chief executive of IDS, stated that the adjustments align with current customer mailing habits, while Citizens Advice condemned the decision for not enhancing delivery performance.
- The reform aims to ensure Royal Mail’s financial sustainability and the universal service’s survival, but critics warn it may reduce service reliability and raise costs for businesses and consumers.
