Postal dates- what are my chances?

[goldpendant]

Just put my cards in the post box (big town centre - missed the Saturday collection though, whoops). What are the chances they'll get to addressees on Christmas Eve?! Slim I expect but maybe I'll be lucky?

Very slim but possible it they were 1st class.

Last recomended posting day for 1st class was Friday so yes I would say slim to none.

I think if you've put 1st class stamps on, the posties will do their very best to get them collected and sorted on Monday and then delivered Tuesday.

Yes they're 1st class. Can but hope!

I think you have a strong chance,we've hardly had any post and maybe a third of the number of cards we usually have and during the week the PO was empty 🤞

Possible in with a chance I posted a parcel first class Friday it arrived today so there doesn’t appear to be delays.

Highly unlikely. Royal Mail are vastly behind in a lot of areas. Most of my parcels have been taking 4-5 working days to arrive, including first class. I think they'll be clearing all the stuff posted by Friday and that will be it.
