Thousands of households across the United Kingdom are facing postal delays after Royal Mail confirmed it is unable to meet its usual six-day delivery target in dozens of postcode areas. The disruption affects at least 51 postcode districts across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Royal Mail has not issued a fixed national delay timeframe but said deliveries may be disrupted in affected areas, with some households not receiving post on their usual delivery days. In some locations, services are being reduced or adjusted as local offices manage operational pressures.
