This service is for Royal Mail Packet (plus Recorded if valuable), or Courier if heavy.
- summary: orders are processed within 24 hours and posted 1 to 2 days later; most are sent by Royal Mail (delivery 1 to 4 days), some by courier (delivery usually next day).
- detail: these are 'working days'. For us, this is Sunday to Friday (though there's no outgoing post on Sunday); for Royal Mail this is Monday to Saturday; for couriers this is Monday to Thursday. Please allow for delays due to Bank Holidays, especially Easter (Thursday to Tuesday counts as one working day) and Christmas (see this page 'Last Posting Dates').

Royal Mail Special Delivery is not guaranteed on Saturday, it depends on your postman, if he knows you are open on a Saturday he should deliver it, otherwise he'll wait until Monday (or Tuesday if Monday is a Bank Holiday).
