Urgent Advice for Customers Planning International Postal Parcels
Postal strikes in February 2023 could delay international mail deliveries. Customers planning to send international parcels should take urgent action. Royal Mail has brought forward the latest recommended posting dates for UK and International services before the festive season. In light of the planned industrial action, customers should post items by 31st January 2023 to ensure they arrive in time.
Customers should also consider using alternative carriers, such as DHL, FedEx, and UPS. Automating production and distribution of outbound mail with an integrated multichannel platform is also recommended.
Finally, customers should consider taking out insurance to cover any losses incurred due to postal strikes. By following these steps, customers can protect themselves and their packages from potential delays and disruption.
Insure Items for Delivery to Preserve Profit Potential Amidst Strikes
Insuring parcels will help during strike action
In the event of a postal strike, it is essential to insure items for delivery in order to preserve profit potential. Insuring items helps to protect against any losses due to missed or delayed delivery. Companies should consider purchasing additional insurance coverage to cover the full value of goods being shipped, especially if the items are of high value.
This will ensure that the company is compensated for any losses incurred due to the strike. Additionally, customers should be informed of the potential risks associated with postal strikes and encouraged to purchase additional insurance to protect their purchases. By taking these steps, companies can minimize the financial impact of postal strikes and ensure that their products arrive safely and on time.
Develop a Contingency Plan to Maintain Delivery Schedules Despite Strikes
In the face of potential postal strikes, it’s essential to develop a contingency plan to maintain delivery schedules. Companies should consider automating production and distribution of outbound mail with an integrated multichannel platform to minimize disruption. It’s also important to prepare in advance for potential postal service disruption and look into alternative delivery methods if necessary.
Customers should be encouraged to post items by the recommended deadlines for guaranteed delivery before Christmas. Additionally, it’s wise to consider insuring items for delivery to preserve profit potential amidst strikes. By taking these steps, businesses can ensure that their operations remain as smooth as possible despite any potential disruption.
Cyber Group Vows To Publish Stolen Royal Mail Data If Ransom Demand Not Met
The Cybercrime group LockBit has threatened to publish stolen Royal Mail data if their ransom demand of £66 million is not met. The group hacked into Royal Mail’s systems, and has since demanded the money in exchange for not releasing confidential information. The threat has caused serious concern for Royal Mail and its customers.
The Trade Union Congress (TUC) has condemned the ransomware attack and vowed to publish the stolen data if the ransom is not paid. The TUC has also called on the government to ensure that Royal Mail is adequately protected from future cyber attacks.
The threat of data being leaked has caused alarm for customers, as it could lead to financial loss, identity theft and other security risks. Royal Mail has urged customers to remain vigilant and to take extra precautions when sending confidential information. The company has also implemented additional security measures to protect its systems.
