Royal Mail has issued a warning as some areas could experience postal delays

The Royal Mail has issued a warning as some areas could experience delays due to staff shortages and resourcing issues.The Royal Mail put out a warning on its website to explain which postcodes and areas are being affected.

The Royal Mail website said: “In a small number of local offices, this may temporarily not be possible [to deliver the mail] due to local issues such as high levels of sick absence, resourcing, or other local factors.

“In those cases, we will rotate deliveries to minimise the delay to individual customers. We also provide targeted support to those offices to address their challenges and restore our service to the high standard our customers would normally receive.

“We're sorry for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.”

The recent update comes just a couple of weeks after the Royal Mail said it was experiencing delays due to the severe weather conditions.
