Royal mail, just typical.

The strike isn't just about the money, it's also about the strings that are attached to any offers. The proposed changes will adversely and severely impact the personal life of a lot of workers, over 115,000 of them. They worked through the pandemic delivering for the country to ensure that your Amazon junk kept coming to your doorstep, for you to be entertained and supplied while most stayed at home.

Stop whining op and look at the bigger picture.
 
We used to have an attractive postwoman deliver to our old house. We moved somewhere else in the same area and I hadn't seen her for a while, but she is now delivering to our new place too! She has put on a lot of weight, but whatever :).
 
If you chose Royal Mail as sender, you should have chosen a Tracked option or Special Delivery, because RM have said they will priotise them during the strike days. If you've chosen another option, good luck getting your essential delivery before next Thursday.

Only managers are working Saturdays during the strike. The managers that got a good payrise and are getting a bonus for working through the strikes.

Last I read posties have no strike days currently planned on Saturdays, so they will be normal working days. However, on strike days, managers along with posties not wishing to strike and temp agency workers will be in and trying to deliver Tracked and Special Delivery items. Everything else will be rolled over, highly doubtful the backlog from tomorrow will all get cleared this Saturday by the posties within contract hours and overtime pay for extra delivery time isn't likely an option.

Why did you pick Royal Mail for the postage option if you needed the parts quickly?
