Research for the Royal Mail
Four in five households across seven major UK cities believe that, no matter who delivers their mail, it should be delivered six days a week, says an Ipsos survey for the Royal Mail.
New research conducted by Ipsos for the Royal Mail has revealed households in seven of the UK’s major cities agree that no matter who delivers the mail, they should deliver six days a week.
The research showed that 94% of households thought it important (essential / very important / fairly important) that they are able to collect undelivered items from a local mail collection facility.
Additionally, the research revealed a strong dependence on a six-day-a-week service – with nearly two-thirds (66%) of households depending completely, a great deal or a fair amount on a working week plus Saturday mail service.
