Is the post still being delivered?

Sat Apr 25, 2020 12:53 pm

Anyone know if the post is still being delivered to homes in Cardiff?

No sign of a postman in my area in Pontprennau for over a week now.

Have they stopped all deliveries to houses at the moment?

Seems to be a depleted service but mail still arriving in my area. However, I've noticed that their parcel delivery drivers are currently not delivering to certain businesses, if not all and insisting they go collect any mail from the Collection Depots

Other delivery companies seem to be working as normally as is possible

Thanks for that.

Perhaps if any posties use the board they can update us?

Cheers

Friend’s husband is a postie. Says they’re way behind with delivering due to depleted staff.

Thank you.

I assume that means that only certain parts of the city are having any deliveries at all.

they are extremely busy and short of postmen.. I know their union were trying to get reduced deliveries { not every day } because the average letters per home had increased so much.. not sure whether any agreement was made..

Thanks.

They've managed to get reduced deliveries around here whatever their union said - they've reduced it to no deliveries!

Would have thought that the numbers of post items would have gone down with so many people working from home and sending mail electronically but on the other hand I suppose people are using the post more for social purposes than work at the moment.

I guess if a postie who normally delivers to a particular area is off they probably don't have anybody available to cover that particular area hence a massive backlog builds up.
