We would like to remind customers that due to the upcoming postal strike on Friday the 26th of August there will be no mail deliveries or collections after close of business today (Thursday the 25th of August). We will still continue to process any letters received in the system but these will not be collected by Royal Mail until they resume working on Tuesday the 30th of August.

Due to the strike we will receive no mail deliveries during this time. Mailbox customers should expect delays received mail.

As we cannot guarantee delivery times of tracked services during the Royal Mail postal strikes, we will be withdrawing all tracked services during the strike action.

We have also been informed by Royal Mail that they have amended their terms and conditions for this period. From Thursday the 25th August and 1st of September, customers will not be able to claim any compensation for items that are delayed due to the knock on effect of strike action.
