Firm ready to deliver on day of postal strike

11:13am Thursday 18th June 2009

A BOLTON-based online delivery company is reaping extra business because of a planned postal strike in London.

Parcel2Go.com is anticipating a sales increase of £50,000 in just one day as Londoners seek alternative methods of parcel delivery ahead of tomorrow’s Royal Mail strike.

More than 300,000 businesses and 8.5 million residents across London will be affected by the strike and Parcel2Go is reaping the rewards with a 72 per cent increase in online enquiries from in and around London.

Fil Adams-Mercer, managing director of Parcel2go, said: “Businesses have no right to hold their customers to ransom. But if they choose to do this, we will be waiting to provide them with the service they need.

“There has been an incredible response to this proposed strike. Both businesses and residents have made sure they are not inconvenienced and have made other arrangements.

“This is not a short-term win for us either. We have statistics to show that once people have used Parcel2go they become repeat customers.”

I got home today to find a card from City Post put through the street door.
It didn't have an adressee's name or flat number. It stated that a packet had
been left in the meter box (?), and at the neigbouring address, and was at their
depot for collection!
I wasn't expecting anything. Don't even think it was for this address.
Hope whoever it was sent to gets it eventually.

I was putting the bins out this morning and I noticed something under a bush.
It was the parcel that had been left there by City Post (Express Delivery!!) 10 days ago.
It was for next door, and I gave it to the young lady next door. It was something for
her baby. I suggested that next time she ordered something for delivery she should
insist that the sender use Royal Mail.
