Big changes are coming to Royal Mail! 🚚📬 Royal Mail has announced that from 2026, they’re shaking up the schedule for 2nd class mail deliveries. No more Saturday drop-offs for 2nd class letters—yep, you heard that right! Instead, deliveries will happen on alternating weekdays: one week, you’ll get mail on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and the next, on Tuesday and Thursday.
While first class letters and parcels are not affected and will continue as usual, this shift might change how quickly you receive your 2nd class mail. Don’t worry, Royal Mail still aims for delivery within three working days, although weekend gaps mean Thursday letters might now show up by the following Tuesday. 📅✉️
Why the change? Simply put, fewer letters are being sent these days. The new system is designed to offer a more consistent and dependable service, according to Royal Mail’s announcement. 🔄
Concerned about cost or compensation? 2nd class stamps are priced at 91p, with up to £20 compensation for any loss or damage. Remember, this update comes after Ofcom’s reforms following consultations in 2025.
