If you don't have prior experience, think of this question as a quiz on how their systems work. You can answer this by researching online and learning how Royal Mail describes how they are "Playing our part. Posties are the face of Royal Mail and their work wouldn't be possible without the dedication of our sorting teams. Every letter and parcel goes from the letter box into one of our sorting centres, where it's then given to the right postie to take on their route. With over 1,500 depots, it's a big job, but they work together to get it done."

Ultimately, by showing them you are willing to go the extra mile in preparing for this job interview, you'll show them you can walk the extra mile to deliver that mail. As they state online, "Make sure you do your job well so that all mail and parcels are processed promptly and accurately, and customers receive a high-quality service."
