Actually the strike started at lunch-time today, so anything already in the system will be delayed :(

Shame they can't just sort it out and get everything done

Good thing your package made it out of the country and over here before the strike started. :)

I hate postal strikes. We had one last year for the first time in 30 years. Sucks, thank god the government sorted it all out by throwing money at the postal workers!

Good News, Bad News time folks

Good News:
Postal Strike came to an end this morning (Wednesday)

Bad News:
The lazy bastards go on strike again next Monday (15th) for a week!

I guess it sucks when you are waiting for stuff to come through the post at the moment

I thought it said, it would last a week in total, but like the ones in July, it would be in different areas at different times during that week...still sucks though!

It sucks but understandable. What with the announcement of all the PO closures (all but 1 will be shut in my area) and them trying to make them work longer hours for less pay.
