So ye peps if any1 is waiting on Vinyl or anythin else in the post your gonna have a long wait.. Royal Mail are only on strike again from today till like next wednesday so i here.. and the may be on strike alot more in the near future.. Fucking lazy bastards.. im waiting on my rinse 6pack 100grime instrumentals and Dmz Coki Sponge bob.. come on Royal mail, pull ur fucking finger outa your ass

i don't even wanna go into details about the shit i've had to sort with new zealand post lately ... rubbish.

feelin you on this one - down with snail mail. nothin beats the feeling of getting a present in the mail but when they don't turn up half the time you may as well settle for the electronic format.

i'm the post boy at a record label..

im happs. feet up bizniss until next wednesday!

i think im going to cry. i ordered some new needles AND sponge bob ESPECIALLY for tuesday... and of course, this bull shit has to happen...

i was planning a vinyl order but doesnt seem like a lot of point if im not gonna get it for ages, stops it selling out on me i suppose tho. on the plus side my new shure whitelabels just arrived at work today (not with royal mail thankfull), cant wait to get them home

Yeh well i went to the bank and got a new account set up...


So like, cheque book will be with you in 3 days, card in 5 days...


Postal strike is gonna increase this ffs!!

yeah but fuck the bosses of the postal service...

serious. don;t hate on the postal workers.

Not all of the posties are for this strike remember....out to the posties who want to carry on working!

Does this affect international orders as well?
Would explain why I still haven't received a mail from chemical saying my package is shipped ...

We got a different postie today than the usual, cos the normal ones leaves th package with next door, this man take sit back to the Mail center. apparently this will take him 48 hours. i hope it was BAMBAM and not Spongebob

on the same week juno does a £3.99 maximum shipping offer ...if i`m not mistaken!!

the ignorance on this issue astounds me sometimes. is waiting a little bit longer for a record to come really the end of the fucking world? i know quite a few posties and they are anything BUT lazy, trust.

striking again??

as a union girl, i say: support the workers. they are not inconveniencing you because they WANT to. collective bargaining is the only way to push the bosses to take care of the workers.

sorry, i have more sympathy for workers who feel things are bad enough that they need to strike, than i do for someone who cannot get their records. as frustrating as waiting on your records is, in the grand scheme of things, records are a luxury. making sure your work is fair and paying livable wages...necessity.

Yes thats all well said and done, but i am an ex Royal Mail Postal worker, we went on strike a few times since i was there. Did we ever get anythin out of it??? no we didnt, we just backed down went back to work and becoz of all the back dated mail infact made life alot harder for us workers. The managers try to get people in to work on the sly while the strikes are on, but them few that did stay in the office to work or go out on the vans while i was there got alot of shit from the other workers . But then i didnt give em any shit coz the way i see it is, them men/women have familys to provide for and bills to pay. So if they want to work instead i was ans am all for it. As for sympathy im not asking it from you or any1 else and i hope not to get any.. Just a bit pissed im gona have to wait a bit longer for long awated tunes and felt like a lil moan.. Such a bad boy i am... I allso have Sympathy for the Royal mail workers coz i know how tuff the job gets, especily on Deliverys/Walks. Anyway big up my boys at the e14 office large up all the Cooks in the canten, Cooked breakfast was the nutts
pps.. Strikes still suck dick though

trust, i definitely would not wanna be on strike either. if there were a better way to put pressure on the bosses it would be nice.

i know how bad it sucks when you are waiting for new records, believe me. i just wanted to throw in my 3 cents and support of striking workers.

It's some bullshit and it's putting a nail in the coffin of the Royal Mail.

I work public sector too and for some reason shuffling a few bits of paper around has garnered us a bigger percentage pay rise than prison guards and the police. Obviously beauracracy is far more difficult than keeping psycho's off the street so fair play to us I say. We're in danger of paper cuts and vicious staples every day - what do they have to put up with - being stabbed or shot?

Funny old world innit

Don't get my copy of the economist today.. absolutely pissed for that..

IMPHO it's all bullshit, how many companies there's apart of Royal Mail...
while they strike and shit other companies will take over. I'm looking at this from customer's point of view. I don't care what company delivers me my precious records - as long as they're delivered to my door quick and safe, it's all good.

for example redeyerecords message here:

Postal strike info : There is a postal strike for the next 48 hours so if you are in the UK and ordering 10 or less records then please select the courier option for next day shipping, there is an extra £3.00 charge. If you are ordering over 10 records then there is no need to worry as we ship those orders by courier anyway.

who cares about Royal Mail
