there's a new next day special starting, not time sensitive
We've not been told about it and there's nothing on the RM website

That also lists the option of Sunday delivery, think that's new as well

Sunday parcel delivery people will deliver it like they do any tracked letters.

I can see it being popular with Amazon, offloading stuff to RM for Sunday delivery rather then paying out for their own staff to deliver items on a Sunday

That has been running for months now, they are called SDG's and have to go out with the tracked 24 gold label on sunday morning despatch, usually get about 5 or 6 in on a sat night, they get tagged with a SD green tag with a gold triangle on it.
(A special tag for sunday SD non timed ie SDG, these are NOT new)
And surprisingly they are not usually amazon, but are all business items)
