Avoid the Royal Mail Strikes

The Royal Mail workers have decided to strike again. Two 48-hour strikes are planned. The first will begin at lunchtime on Thursday 4th October and ends at lunchtime on Saturday 6th October. The second will begin in the early hours of Monday 8th October, ending in the early hours of Wednesday 10th October. Whilst deliveries will recommence on Wednesday 10th October, it will take some time before normal service resumes.

In addition to this, it has also already been announced that this will be followed by an unspecified programme of weekly strikes, starting week commencing October 15th, until the resolution of the dispute.

All Mainland UK (excluding some parts of the Scottish Highlands) higher value orders and orders weighing over 2kg (4.4 lbs) will be sent using Parcel Force; this includes orders for OneLife Altogether Nappy Hamper Sets or Tots Bots Multipacks. Parcel Force are not participating in the Royal Mail strikes, so these orders will NOT be affected by the strikes and will arrive in good time. Hurrah for Parcel Force!
