I've found that things posted during the strikes have disappeared in to a black hole, some never to return, but things posted either side were fine. It appears that anything received during that time just went in a big pile to be dealt with later, rather than first in first out.

Whilst the banner is gone from the Royal Mail web site, my local Post Office still isn't accepting international post.

I posted a parcel from Germany on the 18th and it arrived in the UK on the 24th.
But the tracking shows the parcel still in Germany.

ditto i had incoming from croatia and it got her super quick compared to what i expected - maybe difference being parcelforce not royalmail? they tend to work as separate entities..... my only delay was having to get redelivered due to a customs charge ...

Had a few Audis over the years, mostly early stuff, newest was a D3 prior to my D4, nothing much kept me smitten with other marques so I floated about a bit from one thing to another until that four ring lure caught hold

This is some really frustrating stuff.

You try to do the right thing and you get screwed every time. Could have just just kept driving it and let it leak everywhere but nooooo I thought "while im in here".

My 260K mile sprinter van I love is aggravation x10 and I couldn't afford to pay someone to keep it it on the road. Thus my vast depth of "yep, been there so do this" experience. The S8 was supposed to be fun.

The car teases me with just one more thing and you can drive me again..

Im sure all of you have a sad story, I am Charlie Brown kicking a football.

Ah cool so it is fixed then. I guess they are dealing with business customers first, and then they'll open up the post offices branches shortly.
