Start date: 3rd June 2011
End date: Ongoing
Due to an industrial dispute, mail deliveries in parts of Canada have been disrupted for the past 10 days. Canada post has now suspended all mail operations across the country.
Mail sent since Friday 10th June may not have been delivered and any mail currently in the Royal Mail system is being retained until clearance is given by Canada Post that it can be accepted for delivery. This also means that mail handled by Canada Post bound for the UK will not be despatched at present.
Because of this suspension of operations by Canada Post, Royal Mail has no choice but to cease accepting items destined for Canada as of today, Thursday 16th June. Ordinary items cannot be accepted at Post Offices from today. Customers are able to use Parcelforce Worldwide to send items to Canada; for urgent items, customers are advised to use Parcelforce Worldwide's Global Express service. These services are available at: www.parcelforce.com.
