UK Royal Mail Industrial Action October 2009

What's happening?

We’re pleased to inform you that the UK  Royal Mail workers’ union (the CWU) has announced that the current industrial action has been suspended and that normal postal services will resume immediately.

Advice to Irish buyers

If your UK seller is using Royal Mail to post your item then there may be a delay as normal service is resumed but Royal Mail have committed to ensuring delivery. Please contact your seller to confirm dispatch. Also please be patient and bear the delay in mind when leaving feedback.

You can keep up to date with the Royal Mail's announcements at their website.

Advice to Irish sellers

UK buyers are very much aware of the Royal Mail industrial action. If you are sending an item to a UK buyer there may be a delay before they receive the item, however Royal Mail have informed us that normal delivery times should be expected from the middle of week commencing 8 November. Please communicate this fact to your buyer. We will be informing them that they should take this issue into account when leaving feedback.
