Royal Mail Strike - Quick Question?

[MattyD]

The strikes planned for the rest of this week (the ones not affected by the injunction) have been suspended:

As a result there is no further industrial action scheduled at this time. Things should be all back to normal by the end of the week I'd have thought.

Still no PGR 4, a nice helping of crap spam mail though.

I'm waiting on about 15 packets atm (Orange box where art thou?).

[MikeF]

I got my recorded delivery item that was posted yesterday but nothing that was sent last week arrived.

Our Posty said their backlog would take weeks to clear (Middleton area)

We got a nice letter from HM Customs today saying we owed them 1600 quid. Tellingly, one of our cats had shat on the envelope. Well, it was either them or the postie.

[ChrisF]

I bet £1590 of that was handling fees, usually is.

What did you buy then ? A Ferrari

[prinnysquad]

heh no, it was for stamp duty on the new house. We're exempt though, so someone somewhere has titted up.

Kudos to the cats/postie though for marking it out as a **** piece of mail in the most literal sense.

I received two mail deliveries today. Go Posties!!!

How comes that a parcel sent to me yesterday by SD hasn't arrived? Can I claim some compensation or sommat?

[Jebus]

Not sure if they're paying compensation again yet to be honest!

All my delayed items have shown up now, the amount of packets coming in every day is INSANE at the moment. I still don't understand why the packets were effected the most, but they definitely were.

Jebus I know you are fed up of people you about this asking but what about large parcels sent Manchester to London Friday.
Will these be affected as badly as Jiffys?

[Jebus]

I think large packets are okay, we've had a steady flow of them, we always do.

I'm not 100% of how things are in Manchester though if I'm honest mate!

No worries and thanks for the reply, just concerned, got a jiffy from last thurs yesterday and a jiffy from yesterday today so the flow is alright at the moment, just don't want this one to get lost!

Quick question for anyone who can help: I returned an X-Box 360 to Gamestation via their Freepost address on Monday 8th. I rang them today and they told me that it still hasn't arrived. Should I be worried?
