Ofcom warned: “Unless Royal Mail can modernise its network to adapt to parcel customers’ changing needs, and operate more efficiently, the sustainability of the universal service could be at risk in the longer term.” Under current legislation, the universal postal service requires Royal Mail to deliver letters six days a week and parcels five days a week to every address in the UK, at a uniform price.
