'We're ready for an extra 850,000 parcels per day': Royal Mail on the festive season

[ANDREW CROCOMBE]

Last posting dates are 20th Dec for first class - be aware this is for 2024 ok. Another glorious failure round the corner i guess.

Thanks. This must have just come up in the last 24h.

Quite telling that the.last posting dates for Christmas have not yet been published.

Why is the last posting date for first class only a day after the last posting date for second class? As I recall, previous Christmases, the last posting date for first class was two or three days after the one for second class - and it looks like it's earlier, too.

Will all SDs posted on the 22nd be treated as Saturday Guaranteed then ?

Those last posting dates are a bit ambitious. Should be November based on the absolute s**t show in offices currently. There will days/weeks where mail will not get touched on walks in our office once parcel volumes increase.
