Celebrating birthdays with people face to face was impossible so people would send presents instead of delivering it themselves putting more pressure on Royal Mail.
But as of tomorrow (June 13), everything will be back to normal.
The change, which came into play on May 2, meant standard first and second class post wouldn’t be delivered over the weekend, but on Monday instead.
There wasn’t much disruption caused by the change but it was more of an inconvenience to customers.
A statement on Royal Mail’s website says: “We will resume the six-day-a-week delivery of letters and parcels from June 13.”
There are however some temporary changes to the timings of our guarantees on Special Delivery Guaranteed services in force (9am and 1pm).
