    Do they mean just letters, or parcels as well?  We'll notice the latter as our (parcel) deliveries are quite good round here.
    Just letters.  I believe actually only going to be delivered every 2nd day. Mon - Wed - Fri one week Tue - Thur the next and so on
    Any info on large letters?
    AFAIK references to letters includes large letters

    In some areas there are already issues, i think they might welcome a 4 day a week delivery, it would be an improvement.

    Birthday card sent (1st class) from London to Lancashire in April took 9 working days, postman told the recipient there was just no way they could deliver stuff any quicker. A birthday card (2nd class) sent Saturday 5th from London to Kent is still to arrive.

    Here in London both my OH and I have never received hospital letters supposedly sent 25 and 12 days ago respectively , one was cancelling and rebooking an appt  - and due to not getting the letter we still attended to appt to find it was cancelled.
