Rubin Farr Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Norman Records informed me of this, wasn't aware. Has this fucked up receiving and sending your gifts? I was told it delayed shipping out of the UK by weeks, is that true? I thought USPS was unreliable...

oscillik Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 There's no postal strike currently. there was a few weeks back, but not actively right now.

Herr Jan Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 http://www.isthereapostalstrike.com/ Since when has this been going on though? I'm currently still waiting for a couple of items from the UK, might explain why it is taking so long with receiving the latest MD from APMusik. On the other hand, I did receive other items from the UK after that one was sent out.

No strike here that i know of, Saw my postman this morning. Maybe its just a back log because of Christmas? Pretty shitty if that's what Norman Records informed you as well, they would have put up something like that on their facebook page as well and i've seen nothing Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/86113-uk-postal-strike/#findComment-2263320 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubin Farr Posted December 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 It was a few weeks ago, but I can see there's still a backlog.

According to the news articles I'm seeing, the backlogs were in London and Liverpool....as someone who lives close enough to Liverpool that I would be affected, I can say honestly that I've not been affected at all.

beerwolf Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) Lol. Definitely no postal strike in the UK. There's been a few stories in the press about not being able to cope with the demand of on-line orders. But that is probably the usual tabloid horseshit.

I've sent and received packages to and from the US from October throughout until last week. Encountered no delays. Letters, and boxes of considerable size.

Guest boo Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 When stuff like this happens it's a matter of luck. A consignment will randomly be held and someone has to tell them to move it the fuck on (that can happen anyway but there's been more of it last several weeks.....but that's also cause xmas).

spratters Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Surprising that the media didn't produce a doom and gloom story about how everything is going down the pan now that Royal Mail have gone on a strike and delayed things a little. They usually love this shit, but I've heard nothing of it until now.
