Royal Mail delivers from Monday to Saturday, excluding bank holidays. For addresses in urban areas, Royal Mail endeavors to make one delivery every working day by 3 pm, while for addresses in rural areas, they aim to make one delivery every working day by 4 pm, subject to exceptions for remote areas with limited transport infrastructure such as the Highlands and Islands. Deliveries are scheduled to be completed by these times, but daily volume variations, transport disruptions, and operating issues mean that there may be some limited extension.
