Royal Mail will alter its second-class postal service throughout the UK in 2026, discontinuing Saturday deliveries indefinitely. Information is being sent to households to advise many residents about the revised rotating weekday timetable, under which postal deliveries will occur on an every-other-weekday basis. The postal service still aims for delivery within three weekdays, but a letter posted on Thursday might not arrive until the following Tuesday.
