Attn DD eBay store buyers: postal dispute has delayed shipments

by Diane Duane

I’ll be e-mailing everybody about this over the course of the day, but I just wanted to put a note here, since a lot of people seem to read the weblog.

Just so you know — there is a postal dispute going on in Northern Ireland that is affecting shipments of stuff from my eBay store to the States. I didn’t know about this before, but investigation of some delayed shipments over the last week has turned up the information that apparently registered mail to the US and some other destinations does not always fly directly from Dublin Airport. Sometimes it goes via ground transport to Belfast’s sorting office, and from there to one of Belfast’s two airports. Unfortunately, this work dispute has been going on for the last two weeks, maybe more — and as a result, a lot of my registered mail is sitting up there in a big hopper with about 8 million other pieces of mail, and not going anywhere.

So if you have not seen something you ordered a couple of weeks back, please be patient — it’s probably sitting in Belfast. I’ll post some more information about this as soon as I get it.
