I do think the employees deserve better but that's just hurting the public

It will likely have little effect.
This I understand is affecting the main Crown Post offices, crazy to take this action at this time of year really. While I can sympathise with their cause,I think this could turn out a pointless exercise. Sadly for them and the main Post offices. |

"It will likely have little effect."
Yes Joey the AmazonUK white vans (sub, sub contract) gets many amazon orders to most homes and many drop off at Amazon lockers and drop of points,small newspaper shops which keeps them cooking. |

More people will send Christmas greeting by email, text, phone... The cost of postage has rocketed in the past few years because fewer people are sending letters. Way to encourage customers to use your service - let them down when they need you most.

Oh awesome. We bank at the post office, which means we can't bank, which puts us at higher risk of robbery. I mean not my shop specifically, we're very low-risk because of the location (right next to busy bus stop) and layout (two sides of the shop are entirely glass so it's totally open view)... but this will affect every shop that banks with the post office and there are plenty that are out of view down dodgy streets.

In terms of actual postage though, I buy pretty much everything on Amazon anyway and it's all delivered by a bloke in his car who lives a couple of streets over .

Me too. I've done all my Christmas shopping in Amazon except a few bits I like to buy in local shops. And the woman from the next farm delivers it in her Volvo estate full of dogs.

So much better than joining in the utter madness that is Christmas Shopping in town. And I don't have to Park and Ride for it.

Amazon Prime has been one of the best and worst things that's ever happened.
Best: Order pretty much anything and it shows up in my shed the next day! Worst: Didn't realise that my primary payment method had switched to my credit card and am about Ł3000 down . Wups. |

. Sometimes you can order at like 9pm and it shows up before 1pm the next afternoon! It's sorcery...

Oh, Niamh logic : Went to buy Robs book from Amazon and the delivery was going to cost more than the actual book....so I bought a watch as well so delivery would be free

Only thing I'd moan about re: Amazon Prime is that it takes the full subscription in one chunk rather than spreading it out over the year. Forgot about it last year (have had it for nearly 3 now) and it was quite the unwelcome dent in my wage the week after Christmas 2015.
And yeah this news is going to screw me over a bit. Have got 3 gifts left to post and haven't bought one of them yet

Just be wary of MyHermes - it was them who left my wife's brand new iPhone in the recycling bin of a house 4 doors down last year, leaving only a note saying "Blue Bin". |
