The logistics company's strike has come to an end. Sellers: No more.

2022 has quietly passed. Will sellers continue to use Royal Mail in the new year ? I think most sellers have already found new logistics carriers to handle their parcels .

What will be the next move of the Communications Union ? Now that the Christmas pressure on Royal Mail is over, its bargaining chips have disappeared, and with them the trust of merchants .

Generally speaking , strike action at the Royal Mail will gradually subside during the New Year, and the union will eventually reach a settlement with the company . Consumers who are eager to receive Christmas gifts will no longer care so much about late packages .

Royal Mail has been stonewalling the union and rejected a last -minute truce offer that would have cancelled strikes on the 23rd and Christmas Eve . So far, it has shown no willingness to compromise .

However , given the reality of the situation, Royal Mail must also resume normal operations, but it is difficult to see how this can be achieved without an agreement with the unions .

At the same time, countless small and medium-sized enterprises have suffered heavy losses due to the inability to deliver packages on time . According to investigations, many small and medium-sized sellers were forced to close down a few weeks before Christmas this year because express delivery could not be delivered normally. If they continued to accept orders, they would suffer greater losses. As a result, these sellers lost the best sales opportunity of the year .

The only good news is that other logistics companies that had been working at full capacity before Christmas are now slowly returning to normal levels. If sellers want to continue using them , the only question to consider is whether the shipping costs are within an acceptable range .

Royal Mail is undoubtedly the cheapest for letters and large letters, but for slightly heavier packages , sellers don't have to consider using Royal Mail at all, as there are many other options and in some cases cheaper prices.

Many sellers also expressed their opinions on whether to continue using Royal Mail:

"Our decision was based on price and reliability, and Royal Mail clearly failed on both counts."

"I have already transferred 50% of my business to other logistics companies. I am really fed up with the service of Royal Mail. We can't understand what the people who are striking are thinking. I hope they can make layoffs this year."

After this incident, the logistics industry will probably undergo a round of reshuffle, which is good news for sellers. The competition for market share from Royal Mail by major logistics companies may cause express delivery prices to gradually decline.
