Online retailers will wake up this morning to discover problems with Royal Mail OBA (Online Business Account). This will prove a bit of a bind for those who rely on the accounts to purchase postage and Royal Mail have asked customers to hold off on manifesting until further notice. We have no information on how long the OBA Glitch will take to solve.

News is sparse at the moment, other than Royal Mail’s Click & Drop team squarely dodging responsibility for this one and making certain everyone knows that it’s not their fault. The language of their status update is very clear on this – not “We” as in the entire Royal Mail team have a problem, very much that the “Royal Mail OBA Department” have a problem. One might almost read into this that the Click & Drop team have had their own own share of glitches and they’re refusing to take the blame this time around.
