Hi - hoping some RM workers here can help me with a quick question.
If I send an item by Special Delivery on a Saturday morning, would/should it be delivered on the Monday or Tuesday? I can only find general info saying "next working day", but not sure if this would be:
- Monday, i.e. the next working day after Saturday when it was actually posted,
- Tuesday, i.e. the next working day after Monday (if this is counted as the official "day of posting" due to Saturday being at the weekend/not classed as a working day itself)
Hope that makes sense - thank you in advance for your help.
Karen.

Monday if posted before the last collection. Most Post Offices have a last collection between 11:00-12:00 in urban areas, but it can be much earlier in some rural areas.
There are also some parts of the country with 2 working day delivery deadlines, mainly in the northern half of Scotland.
