So which days this week will we not be able to post parcels?

here's the latest announcement and it might be worth signing up for email updates..although they do come through a bit late sometimes:

You should be able to post parcels without problem every day if using a non crown PO, but they might not be collected from the PO depending on your local strike situation.

I have been taking my parcels to the PO on a daily basis without problem, and have no idea when they get sorted though.

Well it's happened, our first customer complaining they haven't received ther item.

It was sent Thursday using recorded delivery.
The chap was sent an email stating it may be delayed due the rolling postal strikes.

He emails today saying it hasn't arrived, he has had post delivered every day and his postie knows nothing about any postal strikes:mad:

Oh well what can you do?

It's near enough impossible to finance a similar pension to a final salary pension by yourself. Why do you think the royal mail pension scheme is something like [SIZE=-1]£6bn short?[/SIZE]

Because Royal Mail took a ten year payment holidays in the early 90's

Do they really think they're going to win public sympathy with their actions?????

I've had a seller email me asking me to leave feedback for the package he sent me last week. I will - when it has arrived :rolleyes: The lack of info on the strike and the delays on posted items works both ways I think :rotfl:
