Please Note due to the current coronavirus situation, we’ve made the following changes:
-
Special Delivery Guaranteed by 9am – We will no longer guarantee deliveries by 9.00am the next working day for items posted from Tuesday 31 March 2020 onwards. From this date we will instead guarantee deliveries by 12.00pm. As a result, we will not consider a claim for delay or consequential loss as a result of delay for items posted using the Special Delivery Guaranteed by 9.00am service that are delivered between 9.00am and 12.00pm, from that date.
-
Special Delivery Guaranteed by 1pm – We will no longer guarantee deliveries by 1.00pm the next working day for items posted from Tuesday 31 March 2020 onwards. From this date we will instead guarantee deliveries by 9.00pm. As a result, we will not consider a claim for delay or consequential loss as a result of delay for items posted using the Special Delivery Guaranteed by 1.00pm service that are delivered between 1.00pm and 9.00pm, from that date.
For items posted from Thursday 19 March 2020 up to and including Monday 30 March 2020 a guarantee will not be offered. As a result, we will not consider a claim for delay or consequential loss as a result of delay for items posted using the Special Delivery Guaranteed by 1.00pm service during this period.
- We’re no longer asking recipients to sign for items delivered on or after Saturday 14 March 2020 until further notice. Due to the extraordinary nature of current events, we will not pay a postage fee refund for not capturing a signature. Similarly, we will not consider a claim for loss based on the lack of signature. We will still capture the recipient’s name and confirmation of delivery which can be viewed at www.royalmail.com/track-your-item. Find out more at www.royalmail.com/coronavirus.
