DARK SECRETS: New royal mail plans could see thousands receiving post after 6pm | Rare Historical Photos

Plans for a Royal Mail shake-up could reportedly see Brits waiting until after 6pm for their post. With more and more people ordering their deliveries late at night, it is hoped having workers start later will allow for sorting offices to process 'next day' deliveries on time.

And now the national postal service and courier company plans to push things back in a bid to speed up the delivery of parcels. But it means over 100 areas in the UK would reportedly be waiting until at least 5pm.

The likes of London, Cornwall, Cumbria, Wales and Scotland, meanwhile, may not see their post until 6pm at the earliest. It's estimated residents of Kinross, near Perth, might not see anything until 7.30pm, as seen in The Mirror.
