This isn’t a random rule. It’s a sacred, unspoken pact. On bank holidays, the entire postal machine hits the pause button.
Why? Because even mail carriers deserve a lie-in. And a bank holiday without mail feels strangely… old-school. Like the 1950s, but with better biscuits.
So if you’re waiting for that vital cheque or a mysterious package, don’t hold your breath. It will arrive the next working day. Patience, young grasshopper.
The Quirky Exception (Yes, There’s One)
Wait – don’t close your mailbox yet. There’s a fun little twist. Parcels are a different beast entirely.
Some courier companies (like Amazon or DPD) do deliver on bank holidays. It’s chaos. You might get a new book while your neighbour stares at an empty letterbox.
And what about Special Delivery? Ah, the premium service. It usually takes the holiday off too. No premium on your rest day.
