Supporting you during the Royal Mail postal strikes
Find out how the Royal Mail strikes will affect you – and how Evri can help deliver your parcels on time during the strike period.
When are the strikes?
Royal Mail are on strike on:
20 October
25 October
28 November
There’ll be further strike action involving various Royal Mail teams, such as admin, collections, distribution and processing, on:
24, 25 & 30 November
1, 2, 9, 11, 14, 15, 23 & 24 December
What the strikes mean
All Royal Mail and Parcelforce services will be affected by the strikes. There’s also likely to be some disruption on days immediately after strike days.
On strike days, Royal Mail will not be delivering letters or parcels, unless they’re Special Delivery or Tracked24.
The strikes will affect the second half of November, including Black Friday (25 November when delivery teams will be on strike) and Cyber Monday (28 November when all Royal Mail teams will be on strike). This November period is traditionally very busy for all UK delivery networks in the run-up to Christmas.
