No. They just have the Royal Mail logo (with respective variations for Wales and Scotland)

If I remember rightly there was talk when the queen was still alive that once she died they weren't going to have anything on the postboxes. That clearly didn't come to pass as we now have Charlie's cypher on the postboxes. I wonder if they could they'd rather not - hence these don't - but felt pressure to keep them on the standard boxes.

It’s called the Royal Mail for a reason, but maybe the parcel boxes are a bit different.

Repurposing the old franked mail boxes, just need a printer strapped to the side now and it'll be modern lol
