But Royal Mail has hit back
Plans for a Royal Mail shake-up could reportedly see Brits waiting until after 6pm for their post. With more and more people ordering their deliveries late at night, it is hoped having workers start later will allow for sorting offices to process 'next day' deliveries on time.
The likes of London, Cornwall, Cumbria, Wales and Scotland, meanwhile, may not see their post until 6pm at the earliest. It's estimated residents of Kinross, near Perth, might not see anything until 7.30pm, as seen in The Mirror.A Royal Mail spokesperson told the Daily Telegraph the timings were based on "high level" estimates but nothing has been finalised. She was adamant letters would arrive by 5pm, just an hour after they do under the current scheme.
A CWU spokesman told the newspaper: “The changes would see our members delivering up to five hours in the height of summer heat and in the darkness of winter. This is just one example of how Royal Mail are running down the postal service in the UK and why our members are balloting for strike action to defend it.
