Here’s the list of those impacted by the latest delays.
Which areas are impacted by the Royal Mail delays?
Postcodes in London, Manchester, Merseyside, Hampshire and Enniskillen all face delivery delays, according to Royal Mail.
The news follows the company’s announcement of 700 job losses over the next few months.
There were delays last week across more than 50 postcodes from Swindon to Scotland, including 13 areas north of the border.
Royal Mail services also struggled over Christmas under the weight of extra sick days, resourcing problems and “other local factors”.
The number of staff off sick peaked at 15,000 over Christmas and early January – that’s around 12% of Royal Mail’s workforce.
There were delays at a similar time last year across 28 postcodes and issues last July as the “pingdemic” forced further sluggishness in parts of the country.
Royal Mail said: “We’re sorry for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.”
