Many customers will be aware that the Communications Workers Union has announced further strikes for Royal Mail personnel on Friday 6th November and Monday 9th November 2009.
Amazon.co.uk is working hard to minimise the impact on customers during this period, adding staff at our fulfilment centres to process customer orders quickly and working with a number of carriers to secure alternative delivery arrangements.
Express Delivery orders are unaffected, with guaranteed next-business-day delivery by 1pm for orders placed before the daily Express deadline. Amazon.co.uk have arranged to double available capacity to accommodate customers who choose this option.
Amazon Prime orders and First Class orders are also unaffected.
Some Super Saver Delivery orders could take 1-2 days longer than usual to be delivered.
No delay is expected to International Priority Express orders. Most International Air Mail orders will be delivered within a normal timeframe, although a small number may experience short delays.
Please note that while we have updated the Estimated Delivery Dates provided after you place your order with Amazon.co.uk, to reflect our current best estimate of the impact of the Royal Mail strike on delivery times, some deliveries may be delivered after the Estimated Delivery Date given.
