Royal Mail Easter Schedule & Price Hikes: What You Need to Know

0:00Royal males dropping some key updates on their Easter schedule, hitting post-codes across the UK. Normally, they deliver mail six days a week, but good Friday, April 3, means no deliveries or collections nationwide except in Scotland wear. Things run normal. Easter Monday, April 6, shuts down completely too. Saturday, April 4, sticks to the usual weekend deliveries and pickups, with customer service points open for grabbing any miss packages. Easter Sunday, April 5, limits it to just parcel drops, no letters. Folks have been vocal about ongoing delays, especially with recent hiccups in places like Birmingham, Grimsby, and Litchfield from Sick Absences and Local Staffing Issues. Royal males says they're rotating routes to spread out the pain and sending help to fix it quick. The company's owner faced MPs last week, owning up to late letters but pushing back that service and crashing, it's just not perfect. Meanwhile, delays follow broader gripes over reliability. Starting next week, first class stamps jump to £1.80, second class to 91 pints, blaming rising costs as letter volumes drop, but addresses grow.
