Royal Mail just announced a delivery disruption. It’s hitting 34 postcodes across the UK. Yes, thirty-four.
Why? Well, it’s a little bit of a perfect storm. Think staff shortages (the usual culprit). Think high volumes of parcels (because, of course, you ordered three wool hats in July).
Basically, the mail elves are on strike. Figuratively. But man, does it feel real when you’re waiting for that Amazon package with the charger you really need.
Where’s the SNAFU Happening?
The affected areas are a mixed bag. You have parts of London (like SE12, SE13… the usual suspect zones). Then you’ve got swathes of Glasgow (G20, G31—sorry, Glasgow).
There’s a chunk of Birmingham (B33, B34) and even some bits of Essex (CM1, CM2). It’s like Royal Mail threw darts at a map of Britain. Bold choice, guys.
Let’s not forget the Edinburgh crew (EH14, EH16) or the Manchester lot (M14, M18). Honestly, it’s a postcode lottery. And nobody is winning.
