My local post office doesn't have a post box. We hand letters over the counter, and they are put in a sack in the back room. Will these be collected?0

There was a BBC article a few of days agoIt will involve thousands of workers from the Crown Post Offices.
The Post Office said despite the walkout it would be "business as usual" with "at least" 97% of its 11,600 branches not involved.

Is the post office open?
If no,then no it wont be. if yes it will be.
When was the last time people saw post office staff out delivering mail?0 -
Argos Drivers are going on Strike from the 20 - 24th December too, so get your Christmas orders in before then
Generally you should be fine 'cause it's mostly Yodel that do the home deliveries, it's more about getting stock to your local warehouse that might be an issue.
Technically, it's not Argos, Argos outsource their distribution and it's the distribution company that are on strike.0 -

The strike was supposedly suspended yesterday and it was meant to be "business as usual"
