Good news from Royal Mail this morning, at least for ecommerce merchants. Whilst the CWU have said they are preparing another ballot for strike action, having been blocked from the last strikes in the run up to Christmas in the High Court, Royal Mail have declared they are fed up with waiting for the Union to come to any agreement and are going to push ahead with the Royal Mail transformation plan and new robot sortation depots roll out to enable them to deliver parcels next day. The aim is to get a parcel hub up and running in Warrington, another for which they're sorting out the lease in the Midlands and will also exploring options for a third hub. The hubs form part of an extension to Royal Mail's UK delivery network that will see the company introduce a second delivery for next day parcels and larger items and that's essential for rushing ecommerce deliveries to your customers.
