A polite question...

Post by Opti »

...if I may?

Last time there was a strike the backlog was left while new mail was processed, a management decision I believe, I had stuff missing for nearly a month.

Now that I learn that there are further strikes planned next week I am wondering,

Is there any point putting stuff in the post right now? Or wait until the week after next?

Ta.

Hello there!

If what you want to send is very important (as in you want to get it somewhere quickly), use Special Delivery. The managers during a stike will give these 100% priority. I know its more expensive (to a tune of £4.50ish) but it will get there very quickly.

Letters at the moment will be slow, but they WILL get there.

I hope this helps and sorry for any inconvenience.
