Summary
Royal Mail is revamping second-class mail delivery, ditching Saturday drops starting 2026 for alternating weekday deliveries — meaning a Thursday-sent letter might arrive Tuesday. This shift, driven by Ofcom’s 2025 reforms and falling letter volumes, aims for a more reliable, sustainable service without affecting first-class or parcel delivery schedules. While it may delay weekend mail, Royal Mail insists this change ensures better long-term service across the UK.
