Some areas won’t receive their mail on time.
Royal Mail has issued a new service update, cautioning that 82 postcodes will experience delayed deliveries, including Bristol. The postal service typically aims to deliver letters and parcels six days per week.
Nevertheless, it has confirmed that some mail has been delayed. Whilst Royal Mail’s air network ran according to schedule over the previous 24 hours, its road service experienced disruptions.
The company stated: “Last night, a vehicle carrying some mail from our Edinburgh Mail Centre arrived at our Midlands Parcel Hub later than planned.
“As a result, some mail posted in parts of the DD, EH, FK, KY, PH and TD postcode areas, for delivery across London, the South East, the South West and parts of Wales may arrive later than planned.”
Not all mail was processed or dispatched according to schedule at its mail centres, particularly Romford Mail Centre, reports the Mirror.
Royal Mail explained: “Some mail posted in parts of the E, IG and RM postcode areas, for delivery across other parts of the UK.”
As of Tuesday, 10 March, 82 postcodes are experiencing delays throughout the UK.
Locations including Glasgow, Oxford, Sunderland, Bristol and Pontyclun are affected by disruptions at 30 delivery offices.
The postal service 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 high levels of sick absence, resourcing, or other local factors.
“In those cases, we will rotate deliveries to minimise the delay to individual customers.
“We also provide targeted support to those offices to address their challenges and restore our service to the high standard our customers would normally receive.
“We’re sorry for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.”
