The Easter The long weekend is here – and you might be wondering if you can send or receive deliveries.
This is especially important for those who can't see family and friends but still want to send gifts, cards, and chocolate.
If you haven't managed to arrange sending your presents yet, you'll be wondering if you still can.
This year, Good Friday is today while Easter Monday is on April 1.
Royal Mail Letter deliveries continue in any weather rain – but will there be post on Good Friday and over the Easter weekend?
And will other couriers like Evri and DHL still be delivering during the bank holiday?
Is there mail delivery on Good Friday and Easter Sunday?
Mail will be delivered on Good Friday and Saturday – but not Sunday or Monday.
So, if you're sending an Easter card this year, you'll need to make sure it arrives by Saturday.
Royal Mail workers deliver letters and parcels six days a week, Monday to Saturday, throughout the year.
The only exception to this is on bank holidays, when there are no deliveries or collections and the post offices will be closed.
This means there will be a regular delivery service until Easter Sunday, April 17, with the closure continuing on Easter Monday, April 18.
Depots and collection units will also be closed on these days in case you wanted to go and pick up a missed delivery or collect a parcel.
Normal service will resume across all deliveries and collections on Tuesday, April 19.
Is Evri delivering on Good Friday and Easter Sunday?
If you're expecting a parcel, whether or not it will arrive over Easter may depend on which company is delivering it.
Evri Evri has confirmed to metro.co.uk that parcel deliveries will continue on Good Friday and Easter Saturday, but not on Easter Sunday or Monday.
Many ParcelShops will still be open for customers to pick up or drop off parcels over the Easter weekend. Evri advises checking opening times of ParcelShops before making a journey. Lockers are available 24/7.
When it comes to getting in touch with Evri, they said: “Customers can get in touch 24/7 via telephone or chat. Many issues, such as missing address information, can be dealt with automatically.

Evri’s UK-based customer service teams will not be working on Good Friday 29 March and Easter Monday 1 April.”
Do other couriers including DPD and DHL deliver over the Easter weekend?
The likes of DPD and DHL have stated their Easter opening days and times on their websites.
DPD is closed today, Easter Sunday and Easter Monday in England, Scotland and Wales.
In Northern Ireland, it is closed on Good Friday and Easter Monday.
