What is Royal Mail Special Delivery?
The guaranteed option. Delivery by a stated time on the next working day, with compensation if it misses. It sits within Royal Mail's range alongside Tracked 24 and Tracked 48, and the difference between them is speed and price rather than handling.
How fast is Royal Mail Special Delivery?
Guaranteed next working day by a set time. The exact estimate for your route is shown in the quote, along with the latest booking time for that service. If you are close to a cut off, the quote tells you before you pay rather than after.
