Just had a Royal Mail delivery..

[PeekAtYou]

I just had some letters and parcels delivered by my postie.
Is this something that is happening nationally ? It is Sunday right?

Me too

They always deliver December, at least they have where I am!

Nope, nothing here waiting for a bank card I ordered on Monday 😑

Yep we just had a parcel

Well we haven’t had any deliveries for about a week but, going on previous years, I think a Sunday delivery just before Christmas does sometimes happen.

Sunday deliveries of parcels is all year round, at the minute there are also plenty cards / letters to be delivered too, makes sense if they got the staff available and willing

I think they’re using Sundays to catch up from strikes too. We had the odd Sunday delivery in November.

Me too!

They have also asked for friends and family of RM workers to help with deliveries, so they can 'deliver Christmas',so maybe it's them delivering on their time off from their other jobs!

They've been doing Sunday deliveries for 24/48hr Tracked items for a while now.

There's always Sunday deliveries on the Sunday before Christmas.

I hope they’re being paid?

I'm still waiting for something that was due for delivery on the 2nd 😡

They has always been a delivery on the last Sunday before Christmas.

I’ve had a few things on Sundays, some weeks only Sundays 🤷‍♀️

Similar here. For the last month or so, we've only had a weekly post on a Sunday with everything coming then.

They're processing through the backlog caused by the national strikes and delivering in Sundays to catch up before Christmas.

Yes, Every year in December a lot of things come on a Sunday. I’ve had deliveries on most strike days too until the last couple of weeks 🤷🏻‍♀️

No RM delivery here for a week. The delivery office is closed too, so can't collect.

Does make you wonder what day it is, though. 😁

I saw the postie in his van in our street earlier - I did a double take and checked the day

Us as well. Pile of letters yesterday, some dated end of November and parcels today.

I've had a couple of parcels this week, but only one letter/Christmas card.
I've been told by a few people that RM staff have been told to prioritise parcels over letters.
And that a postal worker was told off for 'sorting out NHS letters' when they should have been sorting parcels. I appreciate no one 'needs' Christmas cards, but l'd have hoped that anything clearly marked NHS could be processed.

Yes my long awaited Shein delivery gas finally arrived! Christmas is saved!
We have never had Royal Mail deliveries on a Saturday or Sunday before even close to Xmas

I’m still waiting for a tracked item that was due 30th November!

I’ve had other mail but stuff from the early strike days seems to be stuck at the bottom of the sorting piles. Poor DS is going to be missing half his gifts by the looks of it.

I didn't know about Sunday deliveries near Christmas- I thought RM was strictly Mon-Sat.
I know that couriers deliver on Sundays but I hope that the posties are paid extra if they do extra days in December
