Between 1 and 3 days.

Isn't 1st class generally next day...?

It is for me most of the time.

Doesn't it depend on the size of the package, I think if its small enough to go through a letter box, it'll be the next day but if not it may take 1-2 days because the postman comes in his red van so I think it depends how busy they are but I would think even if they're busy they try there best to get it there the next day since you've paid for 1st class!

Next day delivery depends entirely on where you are sending it to and how close it is to where you live. Royal Mail state that it's a 1-3 day service, but you must allow 14 days before claiming that it's been lost.

My Dad said thats its between 1-3 days

[N!ck]

In theory it should next day even from Lands End to John o' Groats as long as it's posted before last collection.

The 1-3 days is more of a safety net.

I get confused by this too. Special Delivery is supposedly next day - according to the postal worker I saw the other day :/

EDIT: Or it's sent the same day for the next day. It gets very sketchy
