The read · computed from their figures
Swiss Post Solutions Ltd's H1 2024 filing put their average at 21 days against stated terms of 7–90 days; 3% of invoices were paid outside agreed terms and 3% took 61 days or longer. Filed 1 May 2025.
The direction is faster: from 29 days in H1 2021 to 21 now — 8 days faster across their last 6 reports.
That is 12 statutory periods on record (earliest H1 2018) — a historical record, not a promise for a new invoice.
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
The company has standard payment terms of 30 days but has negotiated standard payment terms of between 7 and 90 days.
Dispute resolution
Suppliers are to be notified of any invoice disputes ASAP in writing detailing the nature of the dispute and the steps required for resolution. Operational contacts should also be made aware of the dispute if they are not the originator of this with the supplier. The supplier must be clearly informed of the impact this will have on the receipt of payment while this is ongoing. Once the dispute reaches resolution payment should be initiated on the next weekly payment run.

What a 21-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 21-day vs a 7-day payment cycle.
Late Payment Act. The Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 lets a supplier charge statutory interest and fixed compensation on invoices paid past agreed terms. Work out what a late invoice is worth → Whether it applies depends on your contract — check with an adviser.

Is this official government data?
How this is compiled. Built from official records only: Companies House and the gov.uk payment-practices service. The payment figures are self-reported — companies over the size threshold must file them by law and the board signs them off. No credit-agency data. The numbers are theirs; the plain-English read is ours. This is information compiled from public records under the Open Government Licence v3.0 — not a credit rating and not advice.
The 31-day comparison figure is the median across 6,104 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
