Royal Mail workers plan to strike on the following dates:
23 December
24 December
There will be significant disruption to all shipments sent with Royal Mail on and around these strike dates, particularly given the exceptionally busy time of the year. I expect delays of up to 7-8 working days for all parcels sent with Royal Mail. Shipments will also experience collection scan delays due to the disruption and will not show tracking until they are processed by Royal Mail.
UK buyers: Choose DHL Parcel.
Overseas buyers: Orders sent by Airmail will be subject to delays, and tracking may not be accurate. If possible, choose DHL, which is quicker, although it may lead to slightly higher customs charges.
