在罚款和业绩问题之后,皇家邮件将二等邮件变更延迟到2026年。 Royal Mail delays second-class mail changes to 2026 after fines and performance issues.

皇家邮局计划对二等邮件服务进行大修,包括取消星期六的交货,尽管7月有条例批准,但推迟至2026年初才进行。 Royal Mail is delaying its planned overhaul of second-class mail services, including the removal of Saturday deliveries, until early 2026, despite regulatory approval in July. 这一变动目前正在35个送货处进行测试,涉及将二等邮件改寄到每周一天。 The change, currently being tested in 35 delivery offices, involves shifting second-class mail to every other weekday. 拖延的原因是,Ofcom对2024/25年未达到的交付目标处以2 100万英镑的罚款,这促使修订了业绩标准,包括一个新的后援站,要求99%的邮件迟到不超过2天。 The delay follows a £21 million fine from Ofcom for missed delivery targets in 2024/25, prompting revised performance standards, including a new backstop requiring 99% of mail to arrive no more than two days late. 《皇家邮报》报告,在2025年上半年,收入增长1.5%,达到39.8亿英镑,其驱动因素是包裹增长,同时为2万名临时工人、7 000辆额外面包车和4个新的季节性分类中心迎接节日季节做好准备。 Royal Mail reported a 1.5% revenue increase to £3.98 billion in the first half of 2025, driven by parcel growth, while preparing for the holiday season with 20,000 temporary workers, 7,000 additional vans, and four new seasonal sorting centers.
