Alternative services will help Post Office customers affected by Thursday’s strike
Post, parcel and print specialist
Mail Boxes Etc., which has more than 150 high street stores across the UK, has
offered alternative postal services to anyone likely to be affected when
thousands of Post Office workers strike this Thursday, 15 September, in a
dispute over branch closures, job losses and pensions.
“We understand that people may be
concerned about the strike, which the Communication Workers Union has warned
may be followed by more industrial action,” said James Simmons, marketing
manager at Mail Boxes Etc. “We want to
keep the UK’s post moving, and because we provide many Royal Mail post and
parcel services at our stores, we believe customers will be reassured that
their postal service doesn’t have to be disrupted.”
Mail Boxes Etc. stores offer a range
of Royal Mail services, including First or Second Class stamps, Special
Delivery™ and Recorded Signed For services, Airmail, and Tracked international
mail. “We also offer courier and parcel deliveries
through a range of leading shippers, including UPS, DHL, TNT, Parcelforce
Worldwide and FedEx, so our customers know they always have a choice,” said
Simmons.
Anyone sending a parcel with Mail
Boxes Etc. during September and October also has the chance to win a family
holiday to Barcelona or one of several pairs of Odeon cinema tickets, as MBE
teams up with movie giant Warner Bros to promote its major new animated
adventure, Storks.
