What you can expect on days when national strike action is taking place

• Royal Mail will deliver as many Special Delivery and Tracked24 parcels as possible.
• Royal Mail will prioritise the delivery of COVID test kits and medical prescriptions whenever possible.
• For the duration of the strike no letters will be delivered, with the exception of Special Delivery.

How can you prepare

• Royal Mail has advised businesses to post items as early as possible in advance of the strike dates, and that you can continue to post your items at Postboxes or Post Office. However, collections will be less frequent on days when strike action is taking place. 
• Our Town Square team has also put together a list of practical tips about managing supply chain disruption and dealing with limited stock.
