Presumably, this doesn't affect those that pre-ordered with a T-Mobile?

I've ordered through MPD on the TMobile £35 (web n walk) luckily while it was still available. Just wondering what will happen if RoyalMail are still striking mid November, or are next day deliveries unaffected by the strike?
Also is there any way of going through MPD but getting it delivered to your non billing address - I'd like to get it delivered to work to avoid having to go the the Royal Mail depot to collect it - especially if they are striking as they can sometimes set limited collection times, or prevent you from collecting unless your package is prior to a certain date. I've certainly found that in recent days that my mail seems to be arriving twice a week, everything bundled up.
Thanks

Special Delivery is not always guaranteed next day during the strike, but supposedly it is prioritised. Managers and other staff not striking go out delivering Special Delivery on strike days.

Oh how I hate having to collect mail. Its sad, here I am in Sheffield one of the biggest cities and our delivery office is only open in the morning and you have to allow 48 hours after attempted delivery before you can arrange redelivery or collect it. Yet they wonder why Royal Mail are losing business.

Delivering mail – we will continue to deliver premium service (Special Delivery™ and Royal Mail Tracked™) items to customers throughout the week.

[rant]I'd hope that the strikes will be well out of the way by 16th Nov. Lazy gits they should be grateful for a job at all in these times, I was without any work for 6 months, trying to find a job, it was soul destroying, I would have loved to work for the Royal Mail during those darker times!

Hmmmm, this is why you don't pre order when you first get the chance!!
