Royal Mail Strike Update

Royal Mail Strike Update

On days when national strike action is taking place:

  • Royal Mail will deliver as many Special Delivery and Tracked 24 parcels as possible

  • Royal Mail will not be delivering letters (with the exception of Special Delivery) or Door to Door mail

  • Royal Mail will not be accepting customer handovers of Door to Door contracts at their Walk Bundling Centres


What you can do:

  • Post your items as early as possible in advance of the strike dates

  • Continue to post your items at Post-boxes or Post Offices, however collections will be less frequent on days when strike action is taking place

Delays

Items posted the day before, during or in the days after any strike action will be subject to delay. We will provide further details of the expected delays to items during the period of industrial action.

Priority Items on days of Industrial Action

Tracked 24: 

Tracked 24 items will be treated as a priority for delivery on days when strike action is taking place. However, significantly reduced resources mean there will be a delay to some Tracked 24 items posted the day before, on the day of and in the days immediately after strike action.

Visiting Delivery Offices and Customer Service Points

Delivery Offices and Customer Service Points will be closed on days when strike action is taking place. Please do not try to collect from or drop off items on these dates. They will reopen the day after strike action has finished.

Collections From Businesses 

Collections from business customers, Post Offices and post boxes will resume the day after strike action finishes.

What does this mean for us?

  • We have extended all of our timeframes on our Royal Mail Delivery services that are shown at the checkout for all customers to see

  • We speak to Royal Mail regularly to stay updated as possible

  • On striking days, there will be NO Royal Mail collection from our warehouse meaning your tracking updates will be delayed too. 

  • All tracking services may be limited during delays and unfortunately we do not know more then you at this stage

  • Your customer return may also be delayed getting back to us
