ROYAL Mail’s delivery office in Braintree will soon be open on Sundays.
From Sunday 26th June, the customer service point at Braintree’s delivery office on Lakes road, will be the latest in the country to extend its opening to seven days a week.
The initiative is designed to make it easier for online shoppers who are not at home during the week.
Braintree will join the 100 busiest delivery offices in the country that are already open across the weekend, as well as late on a Wednesday evening.
Royal Mail will also be opening up the delivery offices as a drop-off point for customers sending stamped parcels and letters within the UK, a moved that it is hoped will help small business owners, consumers and marketplace sellers.
Mike Newnham, Royal Mail’s Chief Customer Officer said: “We are continuing to be more responsive to our customers and are providing even more options for people to receive items they have ordered online.
“Our extended opening hours initiative and additional Sunday openings is just one of the ways we are transforming our business to a more customer focused parcel business.”
