Docmail and the Royal Mail postal strikes

Unfortunately Docmail is not completely immune from the Royal Mail strikes. However, as we do a lot of the work normally carried out by the Royal Mail we can reduce the impact of the strikes!

With normal post, Royal Mail collect the post (from companies, post offices and post boxes) take it to their sortation centres, sort the mail, trunk it to their ‘inbound mail centres’, and then hand over to the postman for the ‘final mile delivery’.

Docmail prints, encloses and sorts your mail, and then delivers it to the inbound mail centre for the final mile delivery. As the CWU is proposing strikes that affect certain parts of the Royal Mail network at different times to cause maximum disruption, when those strikes are affecting the sections before the inbound mail centre they won’t affect Docmail.

So, although not strike proof, Docmail has much more chance of delivering your mail on time!
