28/01/13 - **SERVICE UPDATE** - Normal service has now been resumed.

Hi All, its Parcel Pete again giving you another update on our parcel delivery service.  It’s still quite hazardous out there but we’ve been working over the weekend to avoid as many delays as we can, however some isolated postcodes will experience some service delays.

Some roads remain closed whilst some residential streets are quite badly affected making it a challenge for our drivers. Please do bear with us; we’re doing our best to get to you.

Specific postcode disruption detail can be obtained from our Customer Care teams, however, the general information is as follows:

Scotland                              Remains largely unaffected at this current time

NorthWest                          Main routes ok, some isolated postcode issues in side roads

NorthEast                           Main routes ok, some isolated postcode issues in side roads. However,  heavy snowfalls are forecast for this area over the next few days.  Parts of Sheffield, Leeds, Huddersfield, Teesside, York and Newcastle will all be affected

Midlands                            Remains largely unaffected apart from some isolated issues in side roads

SouthWest                         Some residual postcode issues from the severe weather last Friday in the whole of Mid & South Wales and also Bath. Snow is forecast for this area again tomorrow.

SouthEast                           remains largely unaffected apart from some isolated issues in side roads

The situation is constantly changing, however, the message for today so far is that all parcels are out for delivery or were delivered during the weekend.  Of course, we have the challenging conditions which may mean some postcodes are inaccessible and so service on these may experience a delay.

We will continue to update you on social media on any other changes.

Hi All! Its Parcel Pete here, the UK this morning has woken up to a thick blanket of snow. Some roads are impassable, trains have been cancelled and some airports closed as what is set to be the heaviest snowfall of winter.

Wales, the West Country, eastern England, the North East of England and Scotland were the worst-hit areas this morning - with the band of severe weather set to spread across the country.

Drivers in Wales were facing major problems, with the M4 closed between Bridgend at junction 36 and Pyle at junction 37.

Gritters have been out in force, and the Highways Agency has issued an amber alert, advising motorists to take extra care and check weather forecasts before they travel.

Due to these severe weather conditions and road closures some parcel deliveries and collections may be delayed.

We’ll be keeping a close eye on the weather conditions and will be updating you all via our social media pages.

Hi Everyone,

Its Parcel Pete here just thought I’d give you a quick update on what I’ve been up to recently. Amongst collecting parcels and delivering them I also like to get out and about and spread the ipostparcels.com word. Have a read below to see where I was recently.

Two weeks ago I set up stand at The British Ski and Board Show held at the NEC in Birmingham. I had all my different sized parcels out and banners up giving the attendees and exhibitors more information on our next day delivery service.  It was a great few days and I met some fantastic people as well watching the teams perform some amazing tricks and jumps.

Check out the pictures from the exhibition on our Facebook page:
