The Post Office in the United Kingdom was founded in 1635 and is noted in history for
issuing the famous Penny Black, the world’s first adhesive stamp, in 1840. In 2001, the Post
Office Group changed its name to Consig- nia. The operations of Consignia are divided into
three distinct businesses: The Royal Mail handles the collection and delivery of mail,
Parcelforce handles parcel delivery, and the Post Office handles retail services to the public.
The Post Office also handles the payment of government pensions and welfare benefits,
issues licenses, collects utility company bills, and offers banking services for certain banks.
It also issues foreign currency and traveler’s checks, sells travel insurance, and acts as the
agent for Western Union’s money transfer service. First-class mail includes letters,
postcards, and matters wholly or partly in writing; second-class mail comprises newspapers
and periodical publications; third-class mail includes books, adverts, and matters wholly in
print; and fourth-class mail covers goods and all matters not covered in the other three
classes. Express mail, the newest service, provides overnight delivery for packages. Letters
and postcards sent by airmail to foreign countries are considered first-class mail, as are
parcels sent by air or as registered mail. Additional fees are charged for special delivery or
special handling.
