Picking up a Signed for Parcel During the Strike?

I got a card today that the postie had 3 parcels for me. Will I still be able to go to sorting office to collect as normal tomorrow or will it be closed?

Thanks :)

    Ah but at least the manager will be warm unlike the pickets outside who will be cold, wet and wageless.

    Shame on you Custardy, you should be on the picket line with your brothers waving your placard (although personally I'd stay at home too) :D

    i have been to the local royal mail office today to pick up a parcel as usual, there is a sign saying although it is regrettable that strike action has to be taken the office will still open as usual to pick up parcels (not the exact words btw!)
