Royal Mail has warned its customers they have just a few days left to send cards and gifts this Christmas.
The postal company is asking customers to post their mail earlier than usual for Christmas this year as a result of the ongoing strike action by its workers. The company is bringing forward its latest recommended posting dates for domestic and international mail to help manage any impact from planned strike action by members of the Communication Workers Union on December 9, 11, 14, 15, 23 and 24.
The final posting date for second class has passed (December 12), and there are just three days left to post things first class if they are to arrive by December 25. The final posting date for first class gifts and parcels is Friday, December 16.
