Default Royal Mail cancels "Saturday 2nd Class" Post

[Deliveries will also alternate on weekdays to
reflect changing behaviour of users

but critics say regulator has let the courier off the hook]


https://www.theguardian.com/business...t-on-saturdays


So some will pay 87p for 2nd class
But it will now take longer to get there.



[The price of a second-class stamp
in the UK is increasing to 87p,
according to Citizens Advice.
However, Royal Mail is also reducing
the delivery frequency for second-class mail,
meaning it will now take longer to arrive.
Specifically, Ofcom has approved Royal Mail's plan
to deliver second-class letters on alternate weekdays
instead of six days a week.
This means some second-class letters will
be delivered on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday,
while others will be delivered on Tuesday
and Thursday, in a two-week cycle.
First-class mail will still be delivered
six days a week.]

I sent my friend a birthday card, he lives in Alicante in Spain. I posted it on 14th May, it got there yesterday. I could have walked it over quicker. It's not just our postal service that sucks...

We still get post a few times a week. Our postman is lovely and as it's very rural here, he checks in on elderly people.
