## Resource

Royal Mail is ditching Saturday deliveries for second-class mail starting in 2026, switching to alternating weekday slots—Monday/Wednesday/Friday one week, Tuesday/Thursday the next—to maintain a three-day delivery window despite fewer letters being sent. While first-class mail and parcels remain unchanged, this shift means a Thursday post might not arrive until Tuesday, impacting timelines for those relying on predictable delivery. The move, approved by Ofcom, aims to create a more sustainable, reliable service as digital communication replaces physical mail, all while keeping the one-price-goes-anywhere promise intact.
