Royal Mail are now no longer delivering letters on Saturday.
Temporary changes to "postal arrangements" have been brought in across the country from today (Saturday, 2 May) amid the ongoing COVID-19 crisis.
They say that letters will now only be sent during working hours between Monday and Friday.
This comes as we approach as sixth week of lockdown and the country continues to battle the coronavirus pandemic.
Parcels and other items will continue to be delivered on Saturdays while collections from Post Offices can also continue.
In a statement on their website, Royal Mail said that their "postmen and postwomen are working very hard across the UK in challenging conditions" but there will be disruption to services due to the high level of coronavirus related absences and necessary social distancing measures.
They added: "From 2 May we will temporarily no longer deliver letters on a Saturday. We will continue to provide a letter delivery service from Monday to Friday as normal. The majority of parcel services will be delivered on a Saturday including 1st and 2nd Class parcels, Royal Mail Tracked 24 and 48, Royal Mail Tracked Returns, Special Delivery Guaranteed and International tracked services.
"Customers should continue to post both letters and parcels as usual on Saturday. We will continue our Saturday collections from businesses, post offices and post boxes as normal.
"We will resume the six-day-a-week delivery of letters and parcels from June 13."
