Postal strike hits online retailers
October 8, 2009 · Filed Under Online Shopping · Comment
Internet giants Amazon and eBay have announced contingency measures after postal workers voted in favour of a national strike over jobs, pay and services in the coming weeks.
The companies are looking to avoid disruption to deliveries caused by the possible Royal Mail strike in the run-up to Christmas.
Amazon said it had been in talks with other carriers “to ensure that we can continue to deliver the high standards that our customers expect from us”.
