Its just as well you didn't type "Royal Mail Sunday deliveries" in
Google
otherwise you'd be led to wholly bogus stories from websites purporting
to be the BBC


Obviously every major newspaper and every major TV provider has had
their sites hacked!

Well they must have been, mustn't they ?

Otherwise jon wouldn't need be asking whether the email saying they'd
tried to deliver on a Sunday, was a blatant lie or not, would he ?




It was a valid question. Not everyone reads every trivia item in the news,
nor would you search the Internet for an answer if for the past decades RM
haven't had a Sunday delivery.

It's more normal with RM to actually cut services. There used to be
multiple collections from post boxes in my area and now the last
collection is 7am (yes am), a trip to the main sorting office
(distribution centre) and it used to have a 10pm collection which is now
6pm.

Although things are starting to get back to normal with RM deliveries
during lockdown it was more normal to get a large batch of post and small
parcels on a single day irrespective of time posted and little or nothing
in between for 6 days. Things getting back to normal may depend on your
postie.

My regular postman seems to be during two shifts per day at the moment -
one as his walking round

None of ours walk, they zoom around on small motorbikes.
Corse we arent silly enough to have letterboxes in our front
doors except with small shops etc.

and another in a van for larger packages.

Ours have separate people doing the delivery of larger stuff in vans.
