For anyone ordering bits from the UK or sending things to the UK we have 2 days of postal strikes starting today, there have also been several wildcat strikes over the past few weeks. Disruption will probably take weeks to clear - again.

Looks like it will probably get worse until finally the Royal Mail finally sinks without trace as everyone abandons it for other carriers

I got parts yesterday. Luckily, that was all i was waiting for and have nothing else coming. Got no letter deliveries today though. I am due a phone bill so not too worried. I have heard 3 days of sirkes next week though.

I here the workers are trying to (among other things) prevent privatisation.

Royal Mail - Royal Fail !

Special delivery (next day) is not affected by the postal strike. i got two parts for my Vespa from eBay and asked for combined postage Special delivery. It cost me £0.80p more than 1st class recorded.
