Almost 500m parcels delivered in Christmas quarter as lockdowns fuel sea change in delivery service
Royal Mail delivered more parcels than ever during the Christmas quarter of the year amid lockdowns across the UK, but the company apologised for disruptions to service that it blamed on Covid-19 absences.
The company delivered 496m parcels during the last three months of 2020, 30% higher than the same period in 2019, it said on Thursday.
