New Royal Mail plans mean thousands of UK households won't get their post till after 6pm

Brits could be made to wait until after 6pm for their daily post under a proposed shake-up of Royal Mail. The move would be made in a bid to speed up the delivery of parcels, reports the Mirror.

It is hoped having posties starting later will allow for sorting offices to process 'next day' deliveries on time, as people are ordering more and more online late at night. To cope with this more than 100 areas around the country would have to wait till after 5pm.

But the likes of Wales, London, Cornwall, Cumbria and Scotland might not see their post until 6pm at the earliest. It's estimated residents of Kinross, near Perth, might not see anything until 7.30pm.
