Swathes of Greater Manchester are without DPD deliveries today, which the company says is due to strikes.
In the run-up to Christmas, Royal Mail staff are walking out in a row over jobs, pay, and conditions. They downed tools on Sunday (December 11) and are planning to do so again on Wednesday (December 14).
That’s led to a knock-on effect on DPD, the Liverpool Echo reported , as demand surges for its shipping service. A statement from the company explained that only five percent of UK postcodes were hit by the disruption — but that includes every single one of the six post towns in Greater Manchester.
