I only send Special Delivery during the weekdays, when I know it will get there next day no quibbles

Otherwise it's First Class signed for delivery, just as quick IMO

I've got the Mail Made Easy booklet here.

Special Delivery is a Monday to Friday service, and excludes Bank and Public Holidays, but they reserve the right to deliver on non-working days, subject to capacity.
