As the postal service is pushing to cut its services to save costs, it is considering launching a website to check letter delivery days
If plans do go ahead, all customers would need to do to use the service is input their postcode to discover which days their letter deliveries are due. It would run separately from services dedicated to tracking individual letters or parcels, it has been reported., as it considers reforms to the universal service obligation , the remit held by Royal Mail to deliver nationwide at one price six days a week.
It is understood that Royal Mail is in the early stages of devising how postal workers’ delivery routes would be allocated under the alternate-day system. Ofcom said it is studying these proposals and would make a decision next year.: “The idea is that it would work in the same way as the bin collection site. Anything Royal Mail can do to show that cuts can be done smoothly, and the service can be more predictable and reliable could convince Ofcom.
“Also, if this lists when the post is supposed to be delivered – that’s not a guarantee the delivery will happen given the current state of the service.
