A lttle inside information from my friendly postman
Royal ? (Can we complain to the Queen!) mail prioritise guaranteed time delivery mail above all else, as there are penalties if they don't make the time slot. Everything else depends on the numbers of staff available. The company (which they are since privatisation) have reduced staff numbers and hours, and are poor at protecting staff within the sorting centres from covid, so its not surprising that many are off sick.
