Royal Mail strike action
From 4th-8th October 2007 the Royal Mail have announced industrial strike action. Postwatch have said that “effectively these strikes mean that mail posted in the UK today is unlikely to be delivered before Thursday next week”. This will obviously also delay orders posted after the end of the strike while any backlog is cleared.
Additionally all Guaranteed next day services such as Special Delivery are, well, no longer guaranteed so we cannot offer that service during this time.
We hope all 8Ball customers understand and can bear with us during this frankly annoying event, we’re really not very happy with the postman at the moment. And that’s putting it mildly.
