Royal Mail have been carrying out a number of unofficial stikes all over the country, affecting millions of people. As a small business owner I am one of those people, and so far this week alone have had reports of 3 *delayed* items of post.

I can no longer afford to refund orders out of my own pocket while I wait for Royal Mail to compensate me for the loss, as they are making it as difficult as possible for eBay sellers.

From today onwards I will be posting all items by recorded delivery. I will not impose these charges on my customers as I do not see why you should be penalised. However, as this will cause significant extra charges for me I would be very grateful to anybody who is prepared to pay for this themselves.

Once the strikes are over I will continue to post by Recorded Delivery, but will have no option but to increase prices slightly to help cover the cost.

Do not hesitate to get in touch if you would like any further information.

Many thanks for your continued custom and support. Happy Crafting!
