Is Royal Mail delivering today? Is there post on a bank holiday?

The checker looks the date up in Royal Mail’s 2026 holiday table (Service Update page, archived on 3 November 2026) and shows GOV.UK’s bank holiday status beside it. Royal Mail’s own live Service Update page is the daily authority.

Royal Mail’s Service Update page, as archived on 3 November 2026, says: “We deliver and collect your mail on most days of the year, including Saturdays. However, we don’t usually deliver or collect on public or local holidays. (Please note: Local holidays are subject to change).” Its 2026 tables mark Christmas Day and the Boxing Day substitute day “No collections or deliveries” in all three regions.

Royal Mail publishes its own table. For Scotland, GOV.UK lists St Andrew’s Day on Monday 30 November 2026, while Royal Mail’s Service Update page, as archived on 3 November 2026, has no row for that date. The checker shows both and does not pick one.

No Royal Mail holiday table for 2027 appeared on the Service Update page as archived on 3 November 2026. For 2027 dates the checker shows GOV.UK’s bank holiday status and Royal Mail’s general sentence about public and local holidays, not a Royal Mail service answer.

Royal Mail’s Service Update page, as archived on 3 November 2026, lists local holidays by postcode area in its Scotland 2026 table, for example “No collections or deliveries in the TD9 postcode area.” The checker shows every row for the date, because the rows apply only to the postcode areas Royal Mail names.

No. Royal Mail’s Service Update page, as archived on 3 November 2026, gives “No collections or deliveries - Except in TD15” for England and Wales, “No collections or deliveries” for Northern Ireland and “Normal collections and deliveries.” for Scotland on Friday 3 April 2026.
