19 North East postcodes affected by Royal Mail delays today – are you one of them?
Delays in 19 North East postcodes stem from storms, high staff sickness, and parcel volume increases, affecting sorting and prioritisation, Royal Mail said.
- Across the North East, Royal Mail listed 19 postcodes, including South Shields, Sunderland, and North Tyneside, as facing delays on February 17.
- A Royal Mail spokesman said adverse weather — storms Goretti, Ingrid and Chandra — and higher sick absence caused short-term disruption, alongside rising parcel volumes affecting operations.
- To reduce disruption, Royal Mail will rotate deliveries in affected local offices and bring in extra support, while a BBC report found some letters were held for weeks, delaying urgent mail.
- The BTC sent a Thursday letter to Royal Mail's interim chief executive, raising 'significant concerns' and stating 'This chaos has continued into mid-February.'
- Amid growing parcel volumes, Royal Mail is apologising for any inconvenience and said it will update customers on delays at dozens of delivery offices nationwide.
