Royal Mail is planning to drop second-class letter deliveries on Saturdays as part of cost-cutting measures. The move, backed by regulator Ofcom, reflects the declining use of traditional mail and the need to streamline operations. While first-class post will still arrive six days a week, this change signals a shift in how postal services adapt to modern demands.

Editor’s Note: For most people, this won’t be a huge deal—second-class post isn’t exactly urgent, and many won’t notice the difference. But it’s another sign of how snail mail is slowly fading in the digital age. If you still rely on slower postal services for bills or letters, you might need to plan ahead a little more. For Royal Mail, it’s about staying afloat in a world where texts and emails have taken over.
