Slight improvements in the proportion of standard mail delivered to homes and businesses on the next working day were recorded by An Post last year, according to a new report by the postal watchdog.

The latest annual report by ComReg on the performance of An Post found 84% of single mail items were delivered on the next working day in 2021 — an increase of two percentage points on the previous year.
