Royal Mail
UK postal service
Royal Mail is the British postal service, historically holding a monopoly on letter delivery in the United Kingdom.
Founded in 1516, it remains the primary carrier for letters and parcels across Britain: The Royal Mail delivered the package this morning.
The name reflects its origins as a crown service, though it was privatized in 2013.
