Does Royal Mail bring parcels by postman or van?

I've ordered a phone and it is roughly the same size as the Galaxy/iPhone boxes, would it come with postman or the van?>

It could come with either, it may not even come by Royal Mail!

That would presumably depend on who is available to do the round on that day. With our street, parcels are usually delivered by separate van although small packets are delivered to a collecting box at the end of the road, and foot/bike postie picks them up and brings them up the road.

Not a Royalty question btw, although clearly YA has picked up the word royal in this question.

Usually delivered by Parcelforce but not always.

It depends on what time of day it was sent and what time of day it is to be delivered too

Don't postal service parcel deliverers come in vans anyway…

Of course there's a limit to the size of the parcel the post person can carry. Anything bigger comes by van.

It depends on what postage you are paid for.Ie signed delivery or parcel pick up?

Don't know. The category is about ROYALTY, not MAILMEN.

Please direct your questions about postal delivery to the POST OFFICE or POSTMASTER.

If the post man/woman can put it in their bag they may well bring it, i had quite a large book delivered this way a little while ago, it may depend on how much they have that day as to whether it comes to you on foot or by van.

  • When do postman/Mailman deliver In Australia? Okay so my dad ordered an Iphone 4s for me from Ebay and it said that the estimated delivery date was 23 december- 2 january and I have been checking the mail to see if the letter came in because here in australia then don't bring our orders to us, they send us a letter form the post office and we have to go pick it up there. Okay so do Postmen have like a specific day they deliver?
  • Saturday royal mail delivery? I ordered an iPhone yesterday (Thursday) and it said delivery took 48 hours I have just checked my emails and got a confirmed dispatch note that said, "Congratulations, your brand new mobile phone package will be despatched this evening by Royal Mail Special delivery, who will deliver the next working day # to the following address" Will it come tomorrow in the mail or Will it be Monday?
  • Problem with Royal Mail tracking number? I bought a phone after selling my iphone and the seller is a 'true' seller. He's sold 10, 000+ items and he sent the item via Special before 1pm next day guaranteed, when i tracked it earlier it said it was in their network and on time for tomorrow, now it's saying 'There's no data available for this tracking reference, please try again later'
  • Posting something using Royal Mail? I may sound stupid but I'm sending a small package (iPhone charger) to a friend of mine who lives in Manchester (I'm in London) I've put a 2nd class stamping on the package do I have to go in to a Royal Mail or can I just put it in a Royal Mail post box?
