Royal Mail warns of delivery disruption impacting postcodes across Scotland - full list

Royal Mail has warned of delivery delay and disruption across the UK caused by staff absences.

Covid-related self-isolation, as well as high levels of workers off sick, are affecting its delivery, according to the postal service.

The upheaval is also being blamed on "resourcing, or other local factors", reports The Mirror.

It means that certain postcodes will not enjoy delivery six days per week with many areas across Scotland the rest of the UK impacted.

Back in December, the delivery service warned of postal delays in 22 of its offices with reports stating some customers claim they are still receiving Christmas cards well into January.

Despite a struggling service, Royal Mail reported pre-tax profits of £315million in the six months to the end of September.

A statement on the Royal Mail site reads: “Deliveries are operating as normal across most of the country today. We aim to deliver to all addresses we have mail for, six days a week.

“In a small number of local offices this may temporarily not be possible due to local issues such as COVID-related self isolation, high levels of sick absence, resourcing, or other local factors.

“In those cases we will rotate deliveries to minimise the delay to individual customers.”

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