Our postman told us they are down by a third, and although the rest are sharing the un-manned shifts, we should expect a delivery every 2-3 days instead of daily.
How are people treating post, letters and parcels during this time?
we are putting everything in a box for a week before opening and then with gloves on.
What about from eBay, say a piece of second hand jewellery - how would you treat this or would you not buy?
Interested in your thoughts.
Fingers crossed they will arrive on Monday, donna.
I was expecting a delivery on Wednesday from Royal Mail, according to the tracking. I’m still waiting for it. Hopefully it might turn up today, but I’m not holding my breath as a first class package I sent to someone last week took 8 days to reach them. I think Royal Mail are struggling because of the amount of mail/parcels they’re having to handle at the moment and also because some of their workers are self-isolating.
There's nothing that can be used on surfaces to kill this virus & if you think about it logically, & you're a logical person, the particles aren't going to leap at you & burrow in through your nose or eyes. You'll be fine. Do you usually wipe everything you buy? I do if it's going in the fridge but not store cupboard items.TBH it’s not the lockdown that is getting* to me as I’m getting lots done in the garden but the knowing if food packages should be cleaned down etc. After shopping I am putting on gloves putting all the dry goods in a plastic box for a week. Once fresh stuff is in the fridge I then i used dettol to write down all surfaces and handles before washing hands and using sanitizer. THEN Mr L brings something out plonks in on the counter and then uses every handle in the hous!
I do all that and then found myself unable to open wrapped bananas and used my ****** teeth to open the pack - how ****** stupid can you get and now I’m having nightmares about it.
Obviously not from Q ShoppsApparently there’s no evidence you can catch it from a parcel or letter, just as well really because I’m still treating them same as always, tear packaging open then put it in the outside bin, only difference is now I wash my hands afterwards/before I excitedly examine my item
