Royal Mail beats First and Second Class Quality of Service targets
Royal Mail beat its 93.0 per cent First Class mail target with 93.3 per cent of this mail delivered next working day. It also exceeded its Second Class mail target of 98.5 per cent, delivering 99.0 per cent of this mail within three working days. Royal Mail has one of the highest service specifications of any major European country (1). Royal Mail is the only UK mail delivery company required to publish quality of service performance against delivery targets every quarter.
Last year, Royal Mail exceeded its targets for both First and Second Class mail, achieving 93.2 per cent and 98.9 per cent respectively. The independently verified results are published today in the latest Royal Mail Quality of Service report, covering the first quarter of the year.
Sue Whalley, Chief Operations Officer commented: “Our people have continued to deliver across the UK to a very high standard, against one of the highest service specifications of any major European country. We remain the only delivery company to publish our quality of service and we are proud to do so.”
