Royal Mail operates one of the oldest postal companies or systems in the world. It has been providing the postal mail services since 1516 when it was established officially under the reign of James 1. Initially, the company was to deliver letters successfully and timely between London and Edinburgh so that the monarchy would have control over England and Scotland.
Today, the company provides the mail delivery services 6 days in a week. The company delivers letters, parcels and consignments to more than 29 million addresses in the United Kingdom. In the beginning, the receiver was responsible for meeting the cost of mailing the letter instead of the sender. This policy ended in 1840 with the introduction of the Penny Black stamp.
Royal Mail Customer Services
The organisation has several products for personal and business customers. For example, the international personal customer can send items overseas. If the international personal customer wants to deliver items anywhere in Western Europe, the organisation would help him do just that within 3 working days. Mails to Eastern Europe take 5 days to arrive at their destinations.
The mail that a customer sends to any other country that is neither in Western Europe nor in Eastern Europe would take up to 7 days to get to the recipient. The services that business customers are able to enjoy the company enable them to send parcels abroad in a quick yet cost-effective manner. Business customers can choose when they want their emails delivered.
