Royal Mail is to trial a Sunday parcel delivery service for major retailers following a shift in ‘customer expectations’

ROYAL Mail is to trial a Sunday parcel delivery service for a number of major retailers.

It will take on Amazon in the seven-days-a-week delivery market.

The move comes as more customers expect Sunday deliveries as part of their online shopping.

Boss Nick Landon said: “The UK already trusts us to deliver their purchases six days a week quickly and conveniently.

“Now, for the first time, our posties will be doing the same thing seven days a week.

“The last year has reset so many customer expectations and the desire for even more convenient and even more ­frequent parcel deliveries has certainly been one of them.

“We always listen to our customers, both senders and recipients, and the ask here was clear: we love what you do Monday to Saturday, so please do the same on a Sunday.”

It has not named the retailers involved.
