Peace of mind

The summer holidays are fast approaching, which means it's peak season for customers to request our Keepsafe service.

Keepsafe is our service for holding customers’ letters and parcels safely at the delivery office while they’re away from home.

With thousands of schools across the country about to close for the summer, this is a prime opportunity for us to help our local community by offering them a valuable service.

Many small local businesses will also be closed for long periods during the summer and could therefore also benefit from our Keepsafe service.

Customers choose Keepsafe for peace of mind – it protects against mail theft and identity fraud as it prevents piles of mail from building up on their doormat/letterbox, or in the entrance to their building.

Any school or local business wishing to set up a Keepsafe account should visit: www.royalmail.com/businesskeepsafe.

On that page, you’ll also find useful information on how the process works and the costs involved. The Keepsafe service is also available free of charge to all Royal Mail colleagues.

Keepsafe takes five working days to set up, so now is the time to make sure your local school or business is aware of the service, which could prove vital during the long summer holidays.
