Royal Mail warns of weekend delivery delays in 62 UK postcodes due to staff shortages and operational issues.
Royal Mail has warned of delivery delays across 62 UK postcodes, including Birmingham, Leicester, and Oxford, during the weekend of March 21–22, 2026, due to operational issues at 25 delivery offices.
The disruptions, linked to staff shortages and resourcing challenges, are affecting both weekend collections and parcel deliveries, despite Royal Mail’s standard six-day service.
The company apologized for the inconvenience and is providing targeted support to affected offices, though it has not disclosed specific causes or recovery timelines.
The delays come amid ongoing concerns over rising postage costs, with First Class stamps set to increase to £1.80 in April.
Customers in impacted areas are advised to expect late or missed deliveries.
