Some people have recived post today and yesterday, but thats only becasue there post office isnt taking part. This one ends tommorrow, but dont get your hopes up on reciveing post

. It will take a minium of 1 month before they catch up on these 2 days

.But this is only the start, they are doing a 2 day strike every week until they get what they want!
Hope that helps!

Oh God x.x We are still getting post because the post offices where I live aren't on strike, but if I want to end to other places, then there is no hope

Which sucks because I have a package which I need to send via venu in the next week or so!!

I'm writing off to My Chem Romance soon via venue :O
I'll have to send it on the 20th or something to make sure it goes there
Thanks for the replies, the postage system is really screwed

I'm the same

I have it all packaged and ready to send, just waiting for a good day to send it. I am worried that if I end it in the middle of all of this strike business it will be more likely to get lost

I'm so annoyed by this, I know the post people want something but isn't there any way the could strike without messing with the post and all the almost all the people in the country?

Sorry to hear about the strike. That's terrible. 2 days every week? That's crazy...I suppose I won't be sending to The UK anytime soon.

Yeah this strike is driving me crazy ! I have just started collecting for charity when they decide to strike! Had one fanmail response today but first post the household has had in about 3 days, all post will be slow for ages now probably. Even when they go back to work they will be extremely behind.
Very annoying!
