With just a few working days left before Christmas, marketplace sellers will be looking to get as many parcels out of the door as quickly as possible. For many, once they’ve done the Post Office run for the day or their Royal Mail pick up has taken place that’s it. However, the Coronavirus has resulted in Royal Mail introducing a weekend extension for over 15,000 existing priority postboxes.
Priority postboxes have significantly later collection times than standard postboxes. You’ll also find parcel postboxes enabling you to post larger items also with later collection times.
Typically, a normal postbox in my area has a latest collection time as early as 9.00am on weekdays. This means if you drop mail later in the day it’s unlikely to be collected until the next business day. However, priority postboxes have collections times much later in the day – as late as 6.30pm. Plus, due to the Coronavirus, Royal Mail are collecting from 15,000 priority postboxes across the country 7 days a week. Normally they are only emptied Monday to Saturday but with the promise to collect COVID-19 tests seven days a week, many now have a collection on Sundays.
Royal Mail make it very easy to locate services near you with a website where you enter your postcode to find postboxes, parcelboxes, postboxes and Delivery Offices near to your location. Click on any postbox on the map to display the collection times.
If you have some urgent parcels or letters that you need to get sent, simply drop them off before the latest collection time and you can save an entire day out of the transit time to your customer.
