Depends if you post if before last collection or not. On Saturdays most last collections are around 12.00, though not all some are earlier some are later.

From the website:
"What are the delivery times for First Class?
We aim to deliver most First Class mail by the next working day, including Saturdays. If you're sending mail far away, catch the early morning post so it's more likely to be delivered the next working day.

If I post my First Class item early in the morning, is it guaranteed to get there the next day?
Although we aim to deliver mail the next working day, we cannot guarantee delivery times. We recommend our Special Delivery™ 9.00am service or Special Delivery™ Next Day if you want to guarantee next day arrival."
Does this rag smell of chloroform to you?
