Henry Smith MP has visited Royal Mail’s delivery office in Crawley to say thank you to postmen and women at their busiest time of year.
Henry said;
“It was great to meet postmen and women at Royal Mail’s Crawley delivery office and see first-hand just how much effort they put into delivering for people in the run-up to Christmas, and of course, all year round.
“Our postal workers do such an important job at this time of year and help to deliver Christmas for many people and families in our town. I would like to thank them for their efforts and wish them all the best over the busy festive period.”
Colin Lehane, Royal Mail Delivery Office Manager at Crawley, commented;
"Our postmen and women are working extremely hard to deliver Christmas cards, letters and parcels to people across Crawley. We are grateful that Mr Smith visited the office to see our operation and to support the team during our busiest time of year.
“We’d like to remind our customers to post early so that friends and family have longer to enjoy their Christmas greetings.”
The last recommend posting dates for Christmas are:
- Second Class: Thursday 18th December
- First Class: Saturday 20th December
- Special Delivery: Tuesday 23rd December
Royal Mail have also provided the following advice, to ensure letters, cards and parcels are delivered as quickly and efficiently as possible:
- Post early: Avoid disappointment by posting your cards and parcels early.
- Use a postcode: A clearly addressed card or parcel, with a postcode, and return address on the back of the envelope, will ensure quick and efficient delivery.
- Use Special Delivery: For valuable packages and parcels guarantee delivery with Royal Mail’s Special Delivery, which means your gift is tracked, traced and insured against loss.
