When is royal mail delivering again

Royal Mail piloted Sunday parcel deliveries in , but took the decision not to roll out that service. The Royal Mail spokesperson said: "We were early adopters with the Sunday trial, which was limited to within the M25 area. The spokesperson said that customers were making more online purchases than ever before and expected deliveries seven days a week.

Susannah Streeter, senior investment and markets analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: "With the e-commerce boom continuing through the latest lockdown, online shoppers have come to expect seven-days-a-week delivery as standard. However, Ms Streeter said that whether it would be a success or not "is far from signed, sealed and delivered", adding that there had "long been under-investment in automation" in the service.

Julie Palmer, partner at Begbies Traynor, said: "This expansion into Sunday parcel deliveries will certainly be a challenge for Royal Mail which has struggled with the increase in demand during the pandemic, and has been outshone by some of its competitors.

However, she said that Royal Mail remained one of the largest couriers in the UK, and the introduction of two parcel hubs in the UK "shows its commitment to modernising". Royal Mail needs to stamp its authority and deliver on its commitment or face being bottom of the pile.
