PERTH, Edinburgh, Inverness and Aberdeen all achieved a First Class postal service with more than 94 per cent of letters being delivered on time in the first three months of 2012, according to the Royal Mail.

Figures released by the postal service showed 93.4 per cent of stamped First Class mail sent in the UK was delivered the next working day – just below the target of 94 per cent.

Only just more than 1 per cent of Second Class mail failed to meet the target of delivery within three working days.
