Postal Strikes?
      #110866 - 10/27/03 10:31 PM

I'm not sure of all the details yet, but there have been recent postal strikes in England. I'd assume that it could result in long shipping times from some IOPs. Anyone know anything about this striking business?

I know speed Rx used to use that excuse when they were ripping people off. I also know that a times postal strikes do occur, but know of none at the moment.

I just put in another order to masters marketing and Julie said there was a postal stike going on. I have been dealing with them for over 3 years. My last order is late and since they are very trustworthy I beleive them.

Postal strikes in the UK would only affect the UK.

There are major airports such as Amsterdam, Dublin, Berlin, and so on, where international mail would be rerouted so as not to pile up. This is especially true for INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL EXPRESS. There may be some delay attributed to the UK, yes. But, usually the various postal units of the international community (First World at least) are technologically advanced enough to reroute mail when so needed.

There is indeed a postal strike on at the minute. Posboxes are being boarded up! These things tend to last a matter of days though, before the postmen get what they want.
