Do delivery companies deliver on bank holidays (friday) ?

Addicted · 4 Apr 2012 at 21:11

Tempted by the Dual Samsung monitors, but unsure as to whether I could get them Fri/Sat ?

Any knowledge welcome

Deliver companies do not delivery package on those days, in my experience at least.

Addicted · 4 Apr 2012 at 21:13

They would the Saturday IF i paid for it, i guess that's the only option?

I think that's who OcUK use, so I'm guessing you could get it on the Saturday (unless they don't do Saturdays).

Argh dammit I didn't think of this - Wanted to order something to come on Friday but we won't be getting any post until next Tuesday

Exactly my problem, saw these monitors yesterday but held off as I forgot about the bank holiday!

Last year I had a delivery from Amazon on Good Friday. I wasn't expecting it until the following Tuesday.

RM are delivering Saturday but not good Friday or Monday.

I work for TNT. We are closed Friday and Monday. however we are still doing deliveries on Saturday

Are OcUK going to be posting on Friday??

No deliveries will take place on Friday or Monday. If you pay for the Saturday delivery you will receive it this coming Saturday. However you need to order before 4PM today. If you pay for normal Next Day delivery today before 4PM then you will receive this on Tuesday.

(sorry to hijack the thread a little)

5UB, I pre-ordered some of the new BitFenix parts, the ETA of which is Friday, so will these be posted on Friday or will it not be until Tuesday??

I was starting to think no one would get it and that I've made myself look an idiot.

I think the next collection will be Tuesday. It is rare they pickup on a bank holiday, but they have done it before so we will soon find out. But at the moment we are saying the next collection is Tuesday.

dirtychinchilla · 5 Apr 2012 at 15:25

Hmm ok...I think mine's coming by Royal Mail so I guess they'd be posted on Saturday?

fiveub · 5 Apr 2012 at 15:26

Just been informed we are getting a collection on Monday. - So collection Monday for delivery Tuesday.

(This is with DPD).
