Royal Mail misses delivery targets again but hails 'encouraging' signs

The struggling firm said it had improved its performance but missed regulator-set delivery targets. Royal Mail has once again missed its delivery targets for first and second class post, but said it is making progress towards the goals as its turnaround plan continues. The postal service delivered 85% of first class deliveries the next day between March and June, up from 76% in the same three months of 2025, but below regulator Ofcom's 90% target [1].
