Does anyone think rm will suspend deliveries during a lockdown. Or at least a reduced service

Doubt it, unless forced by the goverment. Posties are/were still working in Italy.

They won't suspend deliveries, quite the reverse, more people stopping at home and ordering things online. Gonna be very busy over the next 3 months.

Based on this post on PosteItaliane, there have been some changes made, just not well publicised.

https://www.poste.it/emergenza-covid19.html?stz=SOC283" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Google Translate, but it's clear enough:

"In order not to aggravate the provision of essential services, in the interest of the community, acceptance of the multiple national correspondence letters (universal and non-universal) of business customers and their services is suspended in the period from Monday 23 March until Friday 27 March 2020 . The PostaTarget service is momentarily
suspended until further notice."

"The closure of many commercial and professional activities, also in foreign countries involved in the epidemic, requires the collaboration of our customers: it is important that you entrust us only with URGENT shipments directed to these types of recipients, in order not to aggravate the network's operations and avoid increasing stocks in operations centers or returns to the sender. For all shipments, and in particular for international ones, we ask you to check in advance the possible closure of the recipients' offices, to avoid possible returns."

Cant see them being suspended but I think they will change. I can see the USO being suspended. With the CWU saying today they are going to insist on an end to 2 people in a van and with lots of staff either off sick or self isolating I can’t see how we can continue to deliver to every house every day. Maybe the aim will be for everyone to have a delivery every other day. Can also see them expecting us to be a lot more flexible with what duties we do, start times and what we do in our duty time.

If it gets busy I dont care.
I start on my start time and DO NOT go over. I will be in my car at the same time every day going home. I am already risking my health and will not do more work.

All post in Spain suspended. You know, life is more important and that's exactly what you tell the bosses.

The ONLY thing on peoples minds as they sit bored in the house is to look online and order crap they don't really need. Then who are the mugs that get to deliver it.....
