Do Royal Mail deliver parcels with post?

All mail for any given street / district is the responsibility of the postman assigned to the round. He is required to ensure delivery of all mail to that round. However, lettermail is his priority though, so parcels and packets go into the sacks after the letters. If there are any parcels or packets that are too big, bulky or heavy to fit in his sacks, he can pass it to a driver who will cover several postmen's rounds and deliver the oversized or overweight items, plus lettermail to any business or premises that regularly receive large quantities of mail.

In answer to your question, it really depends on the size, shape and weight of your item, and if its relatively small and light, it depends on how busy your postman is and how full his sacks are.

Van or postman, either way, it ought to be delivered by 3pm if its coming at all that day. It is possible to be later than this, but it will be because your local office is short staffed and another postman is doing it on overtime after his own round, but this is uncommon.

Large Parcel Delivery Royal Mail

Yes, nine times out of ten, we deliver parcels on a Saturday. The only thing we don't have to deliver on Saturday is "MailSort" which in layman's terms is the junk mail that has an "M" in the top right of the envelope.

I've had numerous small/medium parcels delivered by the postman along with normal letter post, the latest i've had delivery is 4.30pm.

If it is a small parcel it will come with the post.

i had a parcel delivered yesterday with my post

No, in my experience the parcels are delivered separately. Usually when you are out.

Depends how small and heavy and if it will fit through letter box

also depends on how much postmans delivery is. I have had CDs posted by postman before.

No, they absolutely will not, and furthermore they'll be fully justified in giving you a torrent of abuse for making such an unreasonable request. Don't do it.

how would a phone be delivered?
