As for deliveries today, Royal Mail said they are operating as normal across most of the country.
However, some offices are impacted by Covid-related issues, meaning delays are likely in some parts of Britain.
On its website, Royal Mail stated: “We aim to deliver to all addresses we have mail for, six days a week.
“In a small number of local offices this may temporarily not be possible due to local issues such as Covid-related self isolation, high levels of sick absence, resourcing, or other local factors.
“In those cases we will rotate deliveries to minimise the delay to individual customers.”
