"Anyone concerned about their deliveries should contact our Customer Service Team on 03457 740 740, on our website royalmail.com or by Twitter: @RoyalMail.”

The spokesman also stressed that the last recommended posting dates for post to be delivered in time for Christmas are today for second class, tomorrow, December 21, for First Class and Special Delivery and Friday, December 22, for Special Delivery Saturday Guaranteed.
