Items posted the day before, during or in the days after any strike action will be subject to delay. We will provide further details of the expected delays to items during the period of industrial action.
Delivery Offices and Customer Service Points will be closed on days when strike action is taking place. Please do not try to collect from or drop off items on these dates. They will reopen the day after strike action has finished.
Post Offices will be open and offering the usual range of services on days when strike action is taking place – except for 26 and 27 August when the CWU has also called a strike in a small number of Post Office branches which may be closed. On all days of Royal Mail strike action, collections by Royal Mail from Post Offices will be limited. Customers should expect delays to items sent on strike days and on the days immediately after strike action.
You can continue to use postboxes throughout industrial action. Please bear in mind collections from post boxes will be limited on day/s of industrial action and delay to items should be expected.
Getting services back to normal after strike action
We want to get your services back to normal as quickly as possible after any strike action.
After industrial action takes place, we'll be increasing our network capacity and using additional resources to assist with getting services back to normal.
Collections from business customers, Post Offices and post boxes will resume the day after strike action finishes.
Deliveries will also resume the day after strike action finishes. This will include accelerating the delivery of NHS and healthcare letters and critical Government mailings in the days following strike action.
