A note sent out by Matic Media MD Richard McCombe towards the end of last week warned customers of the company’s ecommerce Graphic Warehouse Trade Print site that “due to the recent change in government advice allowing non-essential business’s to return to work, every courier across the UK is now facing a huge influx of collection requests and deliveries meaning temporarily next day delivery services are no longer guaranteed and we are noticing an increase in missing consignments. In addition to this, many of our courier providers have sourced subcontractor drivers to help tackle the workload, a lot of these subcontractors operate on a non-digital paper system meaning it may not always be possible to offer live tracking on your parcel. We would kindly ask all of customers where possible to order two days in advance to allow for delays.” You facing the same disruption due to external delivery issues?
