Has anyone started resending? I have a couple of things to post but haven’t made my mind up whether to drop theme in the box. Also Postcrossing still has the warning message asking us not to draw new addresses - is anyone confident enough in the Royal Mail to pull new officials?
I’ve started re-sending - the ones I’d already pulled and written before the RM incident but hadn’t yet been posted will be in the postbox today, along with one I pulled last night after seeing RM are allowing some international post again
Thanks for that, I had 6 cards that I needed sending. Unfortunately they’ll have to wait a few more days as the pavements are lethal due to snow and ice these past few days. It’s just too dangerous to walk to the nearest postbox. I am not too clever on my feet at the best of times (thank you disability) so I dont want to fall.
I dropped 17 cards in the post just an hour or so before hearing that international mail was banjaxed, I’ll be sure to post here when the first of them is registered!
A postcard from 12th -after the incident but before the ‘don’t send’ information- got registered yesterday, so I think that they are moving the backlog.
I’d be interested to know if things thst went in the box on the day of the incident make it to their destination or are somehow doomed…
Yes. I put 4-5 postcards in the box on the 10th, but I’m not sure if that box was emptied that day, or the 11th. And then 9 more yesterday, the 20th. I’m also interested to see what arrives first.
I am heartened though by yours and others’ reports of cards arriving. It does make me wonder if RM started to clear the backlog a day or two before announcing we could post again. It’s what I would have done had I been in charge.
Hurray! One of the postcards that I wrote on the 8th, posted on the 10th, has been registered.
I’ve just gone more than 8 days without a single one of my outgoing postcards being registered. Bearing in mind I must have had more than 20 travelling (out of a possible 30) when the cyber incident started, it just shows what a huge impact losing one week’s post can have. I would normally expect 1-2 of my postcards to be registered every day.
