Deliveries over the Easter Bank Holiday
Deliveries will be affected over the Easter Bank Holiday.
The Post Office does not collect or deliver packages on bank holidays, which means there will be no postal service on April 18 or 21.
However, deliveries are expected to take place as normal on April 22.
That means you’ll have to send your parcel early in order to make sure that it is delivered on time.
