Royal Mail considers bin collection-style website for letter delivery days

[Still Waters]

Royal Mail is considering launching a “bin collection”-type website for households to track which day they will receive mail, if the company is given the green light by the regulator to water down services.

Industry sources told the Guardian that the company has mooted a new service where customers can input their postcode to discover which days their letter deliveries are due. It would run separately from services dedicated to tracking individual letters or parcels.

Last week, the regulator, Ofcom said second-class letter deliveries in the UK could be scrapped on Saturdays, as it considers reforms to the universal service obligation (USO), the remit held by Royal Mail to deliver nationwide at one price six days a week.
