Hello all :)

This message is to notify all customers that there will be some delays this month due to postal strikes.


The following is from the RM website;

"The Communications Workers Union (CWU) has announced further strike action. Two 48-hour strikes are planned. The first will begin at lunchtime on Thursday 4th October and ends at lunchtime on Saturday 6th October. The second will begin in the early hours of Monday 8th October, ending in the early hours of Wednesday 10th October.

This will be followed by an unspecified programme of weekly strikes, starting week commencing October 15th, until the resolution of the dispute."

They state that collections will recommence on the 10th but 'anticipate it may take some time before normal service resumes'.


Anyone who would like to use the Royal Mail service can expect their items to be dispatched on the 10th/11th October.

Our only alternative is for people to select the ANC courier service option when ordering. This is a next day service.


Apologies for the inconvenience this may cause,

Melissa :dw:
 
so is theis just regular post or parcelforce too? aren't they semi privatised or something?
 
that's cool, i have got my stuff from you guys, :thumbs: i just chose this week to get a load of stuff from people and it's gonna be a while before it arives i guess. :(
 
just a quick bump as the strikes are still going on today.

Just had an update that they are going ahead with next weeks strikes and these will start Monday but we are not aware of what dates they will carry them out in the week so orders may be very delayed sorry...
