Default Long delivery period for UK

Can someone verify this with me? I have to date send out more 20 items to uk and not one person has returned their feed back with me. It has been 3 weeks. Usually it's 2 weeks tops for delivery fastest was 7 days. Anyone experiencing the same problem?

At the start of the August, there was a three-day rolling postal strike. They is a backlog of parcels with Royal Mail. It is spreading daily to more & more areas

Have you contacted the buyers? What does your tracking say about delivery?

Eta: give me an idea of what areas you sent the items to: that might help too

I can only check when the parcels leave my country which is typically within 2 days and they did leave my country for the UK according to their website.

I did not contact my buyer but one of them contacted me, asking me whats taking so long.

Here's a few of the places in UK that I sent to: Plymouth, Coventry, Middlesbrough, Northhamptonshire, East Lothian, Billingham.

I really hope royal mail are sorting things out.

Yeah we are having this problem in the UK. I can send something to one area and it is there next day, i send it to another and its not there for 2 weeks, Middlesbrough, Northhamptonshire and Billingham are effected defo and i think the worst is the Yorkshire area. I had 3 parcels sent there and nothing has arrived yet 10 days on, these are signed for parcels as well all 1st class.

Just keep in touch with your buyers, ask them to check there local depot see if anything has been dropped off, hopefully will be sorted soon.
