The CWU has notified Royal Mail they plan to call on their members to take 24 hours of national strike action from 1230hrs on Thursday 16 February until 1230hrs Friday 17 February 2023.

During these days there will be no deliveries or postal collections so no mail will enter the postal service. We will continue to process all mail as normal for posting once the service resumes on Monday the 20th of February.

We will be unable to guarantee delivery times of all tracked services in the days up to and after strike dates. These services are likely to take longer to reach their destination at this time.

We are still seeing delays to all mail services due to the backlog caused by the recent strike action. Localised delays are due to local issues such as high levels of sick absence, resourcing, or other local factors are causing additional delays in the following areas:

  • Newent DO (GL18)
  • Newhaven DO (BN9)
  • Richmond upon Thames DO (TW9-TW10)
  • Sandhurst DO (GU46-GU47)
  • West Norwood DO (SE27)

We are currently seeing long delays to items sent via the International Tracked and Signed service. These items have been collected from us as normal but in many cases are not showing any tracking updates. Having contacted Royal Mail this is likely due to a backlog of mail at Heathrow. As a result of the backlog items are not being scanned into the system until they are processed at Heathrow. Due to these long delays we have removed this service until we start to see it working normally again.

Post Office workers will start five days of strikes next week from Monday the 19th of December until Christmas Eve. The good new is that letters sent via the PC2Paper service will not be affected by these strikes so you can continue to send you mail as normal.

PC2Paper also offers the Signed For and Special Delivery services available from your Post Office counter so you can still use us as an alternative whilst the Post Office is not operating. We think you will find it so easy that you might just continue to use our service rather than waiting in the Post Office queue. Just remember we have 1pm cut-off for our signed services to ensure they are posted the same working day.

A further two postal strikes look likely to ahead causing further delays to mail sent within the UK. The strikes will go ahead on Friday the 6th and Monday the 9th of November. Rather than continuing the practice of rolling strikes where different staff strike on different days the next wave of strikes will see all workers walking out. If the strikes go ahead there will be no mail collections or deliveries on these days. This will mean that mail sent via PC2Paper after 4pm on Thursday the 5th of November will not enter the postal system until the service returns to normal on Tuesday the 10th of November.
