From what I have been told by the PO, is that Special Delivery is prioritised during strike action, but the guarantees are temporarily removed.
Saying that, I posted 6 items last week by SD on the strike days, and they all arrived before 1pm the following day.
I've also withheld all my non-SD items for posting today. Last year, I posted throughout the strike on the assumption that the sooner it went into a slow system, the sooner it came out. This wasn't the case though.<--- Nothing to see here - move along --->0 -
I've just got back from my Crown PO and they are telling everyone that special is still guaranteed for 1pm tomorrow and they managed to persuade some people to use it for low value items with the warning 'it won't get there at all otherwise'. 90% of mine have gone th eusual 2nd class, I did upgrade a few to 1st though where the weight made it cheap enough to do so.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

I' had some letters sent Saturday and we received them today (not local either)0 -
I sent some parcels on Saturday and they arrived this morning, only sent 1st class, so don't think the strike is affecting that many deliveries.0
