‘We’re sorry’: Royal Mail delays continue in four ‘PE’ postcodes after problems at Huntingdon Delivery Office
The delays are affecting four postcodes
Four postcodes in and around Huntingdon are continuing to experience Royal Mail delivery days this week, with the postal provider apologising to residents.
Delays linked to the Huntingdon Delivery Office were first reported last week on Royal Mail’s daily round-up of operations.
However, delays have persisted and those in the PE26, PE27, PE28 and PE29 postcodes are still being warned of late deliveries.
The PE26 postcode is the closest area to Peterborough, covering the town of Ramsey and villages such as Upwood and Bury.
Royal Mail says that while it aims to deliver to all addresses six days a week, local issues may prevent this in some areas.
A spokesperson for Royal Mail said: “In a small number of local offices, this may temporarily not be possible due to local issues such as high levels of sick absence, resourcing, or other local factors.
“In those cases, we will rotate deliveries to minimise the delay to individual customers.
“We also provide targeted support to those offices to address their challenges and restore our service to the high standard our customers would normally receive.
“We're sorry for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.”
