Royal Mail release deadlines for people in West Lothian this Christmas

West Lothian residents have been reminded of the last posting dates for Christmas.

Royal Mail released the information to residents hoping to send letters and parcels in time for the big day.

The following dates will ensure delivery in time for Christmas:

Monday (December 21) is the deadline for 1st Class and 1st Class Signed For mail.

   

Tomorrow (Friday, December 18) is the last day for 2nd Class and 2nd Class Signed For.

Tuesday (December 22) is the last chance for Royal Mail Tracked 24 and Wednesday (December 23) is the last date for the Special Delivery Guaranteed services.

However, they urge people not to wait to the last minute and to get all letters and parcels in the post as soon as possible.

A spokesperson said: “Allow plenty of time for posting.

“Please post items and gifts for Christmas early, particularly for International deliveries.

“Ongoing Covid restrictions, reduced air and freight capacity, high volumes and winter weather conditions are all impacting transportation and local delivery across the globe.”

There will also be no deliveries or collections on Christmas Day, Boxing Day, Bank Holiday Monday or January 1 and 2.
