Sending parcels via Special Delivery Guaranteed UK?

I want to offer an express delivery option on my ebay items. If I use Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed, what is the latest time of day I can take the parcels to the Post Office and still have them delivered the following day? I know I could ask the PO but they are shuit, and the info is not on their website.

Does anyone use the service and how reliable is it?

    You will need to check with your local post office - because the van will be making a round to collect everything, and some offices will have an earlier collection than others.

    It isn't on the website because the cut off time no longer applies (used to around midday) - you just need to take the parcel(s) in before the last collection at the post office you are using.

    Do read the stuff on Royal Mail's website about guaranteed delivery: it does NOT promise next day delivery throughout the country, and it is wise to note the exceptions on your listing to avoid buyer disappointment and negative feedback.
