Currys has stopped using Royal Mail due to strikes
Currys has stopped using Royal Mail for parcel deliveries "For now" following a wave of strike action at the postal services firm. Alex Baldock, chief executive at the electronics retailer, said Currys used Royal Mail for "Relatively few, smaller parcels". Royal Mail itself has brought forward the last Christmas posting dates in response to the strike action. Widespread strikes planned for December, at Royal Mail and in other sectors such as the railways, will have a particularly acute impact on retailers in the run-up to Christmas, their busiest time of the year, Mr Baldock told the BBC's Laura Kuensberg programme. The Telegraph, which first reported that Currys was switching away from Royal Mail, said undelivered post was already piling up in Royal Mail depots.
