RoyalMail v ParcelForce (UK)

There is industrial action brewing in the UK. Does anyone know if books sent PARCELFORCE will be safe from ROYALMAIL industrial action? My last book made it through in about ten days.

If I order books from the US do they finish their journey parcelforce or royalmail?

Or - are the two indivisible?

Depends. If they are mailed, surface or air, they will end up royal mail. If they are sent by a courier service like ups or something else, they could end up parcelforce.

I don't think parcelforce will stop working if the posties do.

Unhappy Royalmail discrimination

Paperbacks appear to be reaching me before theological tomes. Despite being posted days before the novels the theology is taking longer.

Do I have a case under UK discrimination legislation.

Perhaps if the package was more openly theological we could monitor the days in transit compared with non-theological paperbacks.

We could force the royalmail to monitor postal transit by theological non-theological content.

Customers should be required to fill out a form at the post office declaring the content of their books. We could have categories such as "English Anglican" and "African Anglican" or should we make the distinction before they split. How about a general "liberal v evangelical" nope too vague. Better do it under Confessions of Faith.

Only by properly identifying the theological contents v non theological divide can we erradicate discrimination.

Indeed only after we have the evidence from monitoring can we uncover the extent of secular v theological discrimination.

(How do I submit this as a script to LarkRise ?)
