Postage Question
I posted a letter earlier, the last collection time for the post-box is 4.30pm. It is a England to England letter with a first class stamp. Will it arrive at its intended address tomorrow?

Re: Postage Question
Well between 88% and 92.1% of it arrives next day so it should get there.

Re: Postage Question
It kind of depends where in the UK as well, some sorting offices are better than others but generally it makes it the next day.

Not so much anymore, sadly for the envronment, but to improve the delivery standards most has switched to road.

The only way it will definately get there is special delivery. Costs a little more that 30p though.

Re: Postage Question
I would say (even though it has been delivered), unless you are sending a letter/package to remote parts of the country, they should get there the next day.
