Where does it guarantee that First class mail will be delivered by 10am? On the Royal Mail Web site, it just says, "Aims to deliver the next working day including Saturdays". |

It looks like confusion with e.g. "Special Delivery" which has two options of "guaranteed by 1pm" and "guaranteed by 9am". |

SD also seems to have an informal "not before 7am", just so they don't wake people up too early! As for the rest of the deliveries, they do seem to have crept from 7.30am to noon over the last 20yrs (my anecdata). -- Roland Perry |

As for the rest of the deliveries, they do seem to have crept from 7.30am to noon over the last 20yrs (my anecdata). Royal Mail went to first and second deliveries to just one some time ago. The last letter is in theory about 14.00, which counts as lunchtime. The first may be something like 10.30, but it will depend where you are on the round. You may get post earlier or later than this if the postie is covering for a colleague. -- Phil Cook |

Here in S London it has gone from 7:30am about 30 years ago to now no earlier than 3pm usually about 3:30. -- Martin replies to newsgroup only please. |
