Update: International Mail Disruptions and Resumptions

[Skink]

England is experiencing rolling postal strikes...

I ordered seeds and this warning was on the order form to look out for delays...

PLEASE NOTE: due to Royal Mail going on strike on 26th and 31st of August some shipments might be delayed.
We will use courier services for our UK deliveries during this time but we have no alternative solution for our international orders.
We apologise for the inconvenience caused and thank you for your understanding.

I then sent a email before I pulled the trigger on my order:::

If I get BC and pay this week when do you think a realistic time would be to get out??? Is the strike solvable quick or are there hostile grievances!!!

Reply: The mailing services are no longer on strike, but it will newly resume on September 8th and 9th. If you are able to place an order this week, we should be able to despatch it before Royal Mail goes on strike again.

Just a heads up,,, I hope this doesn't get ugly...

I have received similar alerts via email regarding the ongoing postal strikes in the UK. My understanding is that it should only result in mild-moderate delays, however, I have been having my own issues with customs etc. so I am honestly not 100% sure how much of a factor the strike will be in terms of delivery windows.

I sent my payment for seeds and as stated by the seed bank they got it out quick and I have a tracker...

I understand the Ç ü š ╥ Ø m š  problem well,,, Mainly Ç h ï ç å q ô  Î Š Ç  for me,,, I wish there was a way for vendors to select a port,,, Golden!!!

I am scared to check trackers lately and now I only use the Royal Mail tracker sparingly,,, just in case Ç ü š ╥ Ø m š  monitors excessive tracking,,, paranoia big destroyer,,,  but I'm lucky as of late with this idiosyncrasy...
