More post strike news :o(

[lajlaj]

The Communications Workers Union (CWU) has announced further strike action, in the form of two 48-hour strikes, from lunchtime on Thursday 4th - lunchtime on Saturday 6th October, and from the early hours of Monday 8th - early hours Wednesday 10th October.

This will be followed by an unspecified programme of weekly strikes, starting w/c October 15th, until the resolution of the dispute.

The situation is very serious, as this action will severely limit our ability to provide any services for the coming period. Customers should expect severe disruption to all postal services during the strikes and for a significant period afterwards.

Please log on to our website, http://customerservices.royalmail.com/a/tBG-Qj3BNMXTuBbYpvEBRPEG2Tk/update for a full assessment of the situation and the anticipated effect on our services.

We will update you as and when the situation develops.

If anyone wants details of SecureDX who can deliver parcels upto 1kg next day for £3.50 please let me know. I can pass on a contact name and phone number - but they are expecting to sign a lot of people up and get busy so the sooner the better

I spoke to dx earlier this week, sadly your parcels must be able to fit within one of their A4 bags. That rules most of my orders out.

For goodness sake! Thankfully I use Parcel Force (which I don't think is affected by this) for heavy orders, but small orders are going to take an absolute age...and get lost again.

Oh hell. Not again! More missing/late/damaged parcels.
