Although the postal service is improving and there are fewer delays than before Christmas, Royal Mail is still experiencing some volume of delays. The company is attempting to do its best to deliver parcels throughout the UK but there are several areas in the country which are currently affected.
Not all mail was processed or despatched on time over the past 24 hours in certain mail centres.
As a result, post in those areas may be delivered slightly later than expected, according to Royal Mail.
The mail centres affected are listed below.
South Midlands Mail Centre: Some mail posted in other parts of the UK on Friday, due for delivery today to addresses in the CV, LE, MK and NN postcode areas.

As for deliveries, Royal Mail said they are operating as normal across most of the country today, December 30.
However, there are delays in some areas.
This is due to Covid-related self-isolation, high levels of sick absence, resourcing, or other local factors.
