I wanted to alert Postcrossers to be patient with members in the UK. Sending mail seems fine, but most of us are facing long delays in receiving mail. I live in London and have just received mail postmarked in November! So, please accept our apologies if things are (temporarily) taking a bit longer to be registered. This is largely due to workforce issues relating to Covid infection/isolation, so should improve over the next few weeks.
Hello
I’ve not been able to send any postcards in the last few days because I’ve reached my limit.
A lot of the postcards sent I would have expected to have reached their destinations by now.
I also have more expired postcards than I’ve ever had before.
Is anyone else in the UK having the same issue of postcards taking longer to arrive? Is there problem with UK post at the moment?
