Royal Mail warns 44 UK postcodes facing delivery delays — full list

Royal Mail has issued a warning to residents in specific UK postcodes that their mail will not arrive on schedule. The postal service strives to deliver letters and parcels six days a week.

However, it has shared that disruptions across the network are impacting certain regions. 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 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.”

Royal Mail provides customers with daily updates on problems that might hold up post. As of Tuesday, February 24, 18 Royal Mail delivery offices are experiencing disruptions.

These are spread right across the UK, including Cardiff, Pontefract, Lochgelly and Lisburn. Disruptions at the delivery offices mean 44 UK postcodes are presently facing delays with their mail.

Their air network has operated on schedule over the past 24 hours, but the road network encountered some difficulties. Royal Mail explained: “Last night a vehicle was late departing the Midlands Parcel Hub for Preston and Glasgow Mail Centres.

“As a result, some mail due for delivery in the BB, FY, LA, PR, G, KA, ML and PA postcode areas may be arrive later than planned.”

Bristol Mail Centre experienced disruption affecting some mail posted in sections of the BA, BS, GL and TA postcode areas, destined for delivery throughout other regions of the UK.
