It is for Ofcom, as the independent regulator of postal services, to set and monitor Royal Mail’s service standards and decide how to respond should Royal Mail fail to meet its obligations.

On 15 May 2023, Ofcom announced it would investigate Royal Mail’s quality of service performance for 2022-23.
