"Parcels are a key part of Royal Mail's business, and their volumes are increasing, (up 5.6per cent in the year to September 2012) fuelled by the growth in online retailing," a spokesperson said.
The spokesperson said that 98.6 per cent of second-class mail was delivered within three working days of posting in the first threequarters of the year, exceeding the target of 98.5 per cent.
This was fractionally above the national rate of 98.5 per cent.

“93% of first class mail might be delivered on time, but is it all delivered to the right place? I ask because last week my postman stuffed a government letter through my door which was meant for someone with a different surname, different address and different postcode - all of which were clearly printed and visible.”
