This info was on a newsletter I received this morning from Screwfix.
They are managing to deliver items to most areas but are still having problems with the following postcodes - BH, SO, PO, RH, TN, ME, CT, L, CH, WQ, CW, LS, WF, HG, HX, HD, SS
I imagine Royal Mail are having problems with the same areas

Im in Forest of Dean, we have 6" atm roughly and its still snowing, theres no buses again and all the cars that have tried to drive through are sliding, getting stuck etc as our roads arent being gritted.

We've had about an inch here today in East London and it's still snowing.

Post van has delivered a lot of things already this morning and hopefully postman due soon as well.

All public transport still running and I'm just off to the PO , it was a good day yesterday on Amazon I think my recent feedback saying things like 'got here next day despite snow' is helping my sales.

Bloomin' snow has been a nightmare here too! Have only managed to get to work two days in the last two weeks!!!Although i have to say, our post has not been too bad tho postie didnt look happy...milkman has been fanatastic - comes 3 times a week without FAIL! But am now on my 3rd tesco home delivery order in 2 weeks and we are rapidly running out of food now with nowhere to get anything! I am out in the sticks a fair bit....

i sold my ebay items on Friday 8th January but the buyers didnt pay until 9th Jan. Does this mean i have 7 days to post from 8th or 9th? Also, is the "7 day rule" meaning that i have 7 days to send it OR that they have to have received within those 7 days???

we had about 1 and half hours snow at 7am this morning, the roads hadnt been gritted cause they forcasted rain, several accidents and took my partner nearly 2 hours to get to work 4 miles up the road, he literally qued from the end of our road.

however the snow was only a light dusting and has cleared now, most of last weeks snow is melting too

however yet again NO royal mail men out, they were out yesterday when the pavements were worse!!!

Ive had three couriers deliver and collect today no problems and ive seen plenty of little old ladies walking around so i dont see why royal mail cant get out and deliver some post! we have had 1 days of post in about 9 days

took two hours to go three miles here. No post. A bus overturned down the road, a train got derailed and caught fire, and no mobile phone signal for o2 customers.
Not good.

If you want seller protection then you have 7 days from payment to ship. However, if you exceed your stated shipping times on the auction you face 'issues' with buyers anyway, so be warned.
