With Christmas just around the corner, the Royal Mail is understandably experiencing delays. While the postal service is doing their best to keep their service up to speed, they have updated customers on the areas which are currently affected. 

Road 

A high volume of mail has delayed the departure of vehicles leaving the Princess Royal Distribution Centre in London. 

As a result, some mail posted yesterday in London and the South East, due for delivery this week in other parts of the UK, may arrive later than planned.

The high volumes at London’s Princess Royal Distribution Centre also meant not all mail could be processed on schedule. 

As a result, some mail posted yesterday in other parts of the UK, due for delivery today in London and the South East of England, may arrive later than expected.
