Royal Mail permitting...

is a phrase I use fairly regularly! To customers on the phone, eager to know when a just-placed order might arrive, in answer to email queries about stock availability etc. etc.

Unfortunately, with the recent strike action still causing delays, losses and general chaos it's been adjuncted with a caveat :-( Parcels that were dispatched before the strike action started are still only just getting through, although others posted in the last few days have arrived  - who knows what the inside of the average Royal Mail sorting office looks like at the moment???

We're really hoping that the worst of it is over... but in the meantime if you're waiting for 'fluffy post' we truly hope it arrives soon and can only apologise for the agony the delays may be causing!
