There was something funny with strikes in Belfast around the Xmas period - some sorting offices were badly hit I think, and I know there was a good backlog for a while. Then there was the Xmas period which didn't help. However, I think there's something else dodgy, I don't trust the post anymore, if it hasn't improved over the next couple of months, there's no way I could distribute a paper mag anymore, cos I've lost so much stuff in the post. There's a postbox outside the Post Office up the road from me in Carrickfergus, and for a whole day somewhere before Christmas, the box was so full that letters were piled up to the mouth of the box - you could see letters beginning to fall out. I passed it once in the morning and again in the evening and it was no better except there were a few letters lying on the ground - great service! :) Things seem a bit better at the moment, I get most post roughly on time, and most stuff I've sent out recently has arrived, as far as I know, roughly on time or a few days late.
