Royal Mail No-Delivery Alert Hits Every UK Postcode Today
Royal Mail suspended all deliveries and collections nationwide on Monday, citing the Early May Bank Holiday. That left households and businesses waiting an extra day for post. According to its service notice, there were “no deliveries or collections of mail” on Monday, May 4. The bank-holiday shutdown comes as Britain’s postal service faces intense scrutiny. Royal Mail has been working to fix service reliability, still reeling from missed delivery targets, pricier stamps, and a sweeping revamp of second-class mail.
