Royal Mail presses the big pause button. They don’t collect or deliver any mail on Good Friday. That includes your birthday cards, your bills, and that “special delivery” you paid extra for (sorry, you won’t get it).
Think of it as a national day of no post. The posties are off eating simnel cake or hunting for plastic eggs in the garden. Good for them, honestly. But bad for your parcel anxiety.
What about post offices?
Here’s the sneaky bit. Post offices? They’re a mixed bag. Some are open (often in supermarkets), but they’re basically like a ghost town. You can buy stamps or send a parcel that won’t move until Tuesday.

It feels a bit wrong, doesn’t it? Handing over a package on a bank holiday, knowing it’s just going to sit in a dark corner for three days. You’re paying for a nap for your parcel.
