United Kingdom - Royal Mail Strike - Impact on Deliveries

By PDC 23 August 2022

Royal Mail Communication:

The Communication Workers Union (CWU) has called on its members who collect, sort and deliver parcels and letters to take strike action on 26 and 31 August and the 8 and 9 September 2022.

We’re really sorry for the disruption that this strike action is likely to cause to you. We want to reassure you we will do everything we can to minimise disruption and get our services back to normal as quickly as possible.

Royal Mail has well-developed contingency plans, but they cannot fully replace the daily efforts of its frontline workforce. We will be doing what we can to keep services running, but customers should expect significant disruption.

How does it affect your PDC delivery?

PDC UK is reliant on Royal Mail for the majority of the parcels sent out every day. You can therefore expect disruption and extension of delivery capability during and immediately after those strike days. Royal Mail should provide further details and updates in the following days. Here is their official communication page.

Alternatively, you can opt for our express delivery service which is not operated by Royal Mail should you need to secure a fast delivery.
