This year the postal service has already been disrupted by strikes but these are increasing over the next few weeks.
The confirmed strike dates in December are:
Thursday 1st December
Friday 9th December
Sunday 11th December
Wednesday 14th December
Thursday 15th December
Friday 23rd December
Saturday 24th December
With so many strike days planned, we can expect a back log in deliveries and extended delivery times. So while the Post Office are suggesting Monday 19th December as the last posting day before Christmas, we are suggesting that orders should be received by Friday 16th if you want them to arrive before the big day.
