Postal Strikes

Due to the possibility of postal strikes in the run up to Christmas this year we will be adding the option to have your orders delivered by another courier from Wednesday 21st October. Details will be added to the web site later today, Tuesday 22nd October, giving you the option to choose between Royal Mail 1st Class at £2.25 per order or UK Mail at £3.99 per order. The advantage of using UK Mail is that this is a track and trace service and has insurance of up to £1000, it will also be unaffected by the Royal Mail strikes as UK Mail use their own workforce to deliver packets. Should you be out when they try to deliver they will leave you a card informing you of a failed delivery attempt and that they will deliver again the following day. Alternatively you can pick your parcel up from one of their many depot’s providing you take your card with you. Unfortunately this service is only available for mainland UK and so does not include the Channel Islands, Isle of Man, outer islands of Scotland or Northern Ireland.
