What days do Royal Mail not Deliver over Christmas?
There will be No deliveries or collections from Sunday 24th through to Tuesday 26 December 2023. Normal deliveries and collections resume Wednesday 27th December 2023.
These Dates are Recommended by Royal Mail. Personally, I like to get things posted out much earlier if possible because the weather is so unpredictable at this time of year and can cause chaos with mail delivery.
