Morning,

Sorry for the dull thread. Ordered an item yesterday with next day delivery but just checked the tracking and it shows this:

02-04-2010 07:25 Charlton Depot Out for delivery
02-04-2010 07:18 Charlton Depot Arrived at delivery depot
02-04-2010 00:39 National Hub Sorted in hub

They wouldn't deliver on a bank holiday would they?
 
At a guess I would say it has been loaded onto the van by thursday night workers. The van will then sit there for a day because drivers do not work on friday.
 
although i wouldnt be expecting it don't be too surprised if it comes, more businesses than i've ever seen before are operating as normal today, even just had my bins collected!
 
So Royal Mail are working today? We've had nothing so far. Waiting for something to come through that's a redelivery; Royal Mail's website allowed me to select today.

Correct - they "fully load" the van the night before (or early in the morning) and then it won't go anywhere until Tuesday. Some tracking solutions interpret the fully loaded scan as an out for delivery message (ours does the same)

No couriers will be delivering today unless the depots have made local agreements with their drivers.
 
Parcelforce are bad for that, it's a little misleading tbh. I had something "loaded onto van for delivery" on Monday, but I didn't get the item 'til yesterday.
 
I expect some offices have agreed locally to work the bank holiday friday in exchange for saturday off. Makes sense as they then get 3 days off in a row and all the mail is sorted on the thursday night anyway.
