Royal Mail is urging its customers to send out their post earlier than usual if they want it to go out in time for Christmas.
The company is under pressure from workers who will be taking part in industrial action in the run-up to Christmas. It has issued an update on the recommended posting dates for international and domestic mail, while considering the impact of planned strike action by members of the Communication Workers Union on December 9, 11, 14, 15, 23, and 24.
The changes have been implemented to help transfer mail at a time of year when postage use is higher than normal. It comes after the Royal Mail said it will continue to deploy contingency plans in the face of strike action.
