The first postal service was the Royal Mail, founded in 1516 by Henry VIII and the first post offices would have been very informal, and probably associated with coach houses. The General Post Office was introduced by Charles II in 1660. The modern idea of a postal service where a fixed fee would pay for postage, regardless of distance was founded by Rowland Hill in 1840 with the uniform penny post service. Before then, the receiver of a letter usually paid for delivery and the amount depended on the distance travelled. The first post boxes were introduced in 1852.Hey answer :location
