Remember that Royal Mail workers will be taking industrial action on Thursday 8th and Friday 9th this week. There will be no collections on either day so I will not be dispatching orders either day.
Royal Mail have stated that on strike days they will prioritise delivery of Tracked 24 and Special Delivery mail.

However note it doesn’t say they will deliver all, just as many as possible. Large letters will not be delivered on those days, unless Special Delivery.
From the link above:
“Priority Items on days of Industrial Action
Special Delivery Guaranteed: We will continue to accept, prioritise and deliver as many Special Delivery items as our resources allow during strike action. However, we cannot guarantee delivery of all items by 9am or 1pm next day. We will therefore suspend the next day guarantee for items sent the day before, during strike action and until our services are back to normal. Customers will not be able to claim compensation for items which are delayed during this period.
Tracked 24 (including COVID test kits and medical prescription items): 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.”
Please bear this in mind when selecting your delivery service and plan accordingly.
