Had a message from Amazon to say delivery attempted yesterday, (Sunday) by
Royal mail. It's only a strip of adhesive pads, easily would go through
the letterbox.....I didn't think Royal Mail delivered on Sunday.

Is this another blatant lie?

Does it ask you to rearrange delivery, at an extra cost? Might be a
phishing message.

Sometimes they do deliver on Sundays.

Quite possibly things on which they have undertaken a strict time limit - and would bust that if left until Monday.

But also it sometimes looks as if it is a catch up of Saturday deliveries when they might not have had sufficient staff - so probably someone doing overtime.

we've certainly had mail delivered on a Sunday - more than once - during
the lockdown.

No, Royal Mail have now got a Sunday delivery for "parcels". After many
decades they suddenly realised they were losing business to their
competitors.

I'd guess that Amazon is not considered to be an insignificant customer.

I saw one of our local mail men out on Sunday a few weeks ago; we exchanged greetings and I said I hoped he was getting double time for Sunday. He said it was much less then double time, and explained that they had set up a Sunday delivery round specifically for Covid-19 test kits. I think that was all they were delivering, but I'm not sure.

Sometimes they do deliver on Sundays.

also it may have been in larger packaging, say an A4 cardboard "envelope"

Log in to your Amazon account directly by going to amazon.co.uk - do
*not* click any links in the message you got. Go to your order details
page, any genuine delivery attempt should appear in the tracking section.

Its a blatant lie

Not only are they sending out bogus emails but they've managed
to hack Google, BBC News, Sky News and numerous other sites

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

March 2021 Royal Mail is to trial Sunday parcel deliveries for major
retailers amid an online shopping boom.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-56362491

Sky News

12 Mar 2021 - A Sunday parcel delivery service is to be trialled by the
Royal Mail. Packages from major retailers will be delivered seven days a week

https://news.sky.com/story/royal-mai...urges-12243325


And numerous others. Or maybe Royal Mail who are just lying

Otherwise jon wouldn't need be asking whether the email saying they'd

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 and another in a van for larger
packages.

It says delivery attempted 2nd May....which is a lie.

Added information on tracking page...Unfortunately, Royal Mail ran into an
issue when attempting your delivery. They will try again.

Why didn't they just say no service on Sunday.

None of ours walk, they zoom around on small motorbikes.

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

Probably 15 seconds walk between houses here and a motorbike would
probably increase the time taken on the round. Friends on mine live in a
rural area and all their RM deliveries are by van.

Only the traffic wardens seem to have 3 wheeled scooters around my way.
Along my road there is no parking during the day, except Sundays. It is
a relatively quiet wide side street and many people ignore the parking
rules. The traffic wardens tend to turn up about once a month to book
all those who they find parked in the street :( What I haven't seen
recently is the Smart Car traffic enforcement vehicle with the cameras
on top that record the number plates of vehicles parked in restricted
areas.

Corse we arent silly enough to have letterboxes in our front

Less theft if small items are shoved through letter box flaps in the
front door.


and another in a van for larger packages.

Before lockdown the same with Royal Mail, plus the other dozen carrier
companies that deliver on a daily basis.
