Currys has stopped using Royal Mail due to strikes
Currys has stopped using Royal Mail for parcel deliveries "for now" following a wave of strike action at the postal services firm.
Alex Baldock, chief executive at the electronics retailer, said Currys used Royal Mail for "relatively few, smaller parcels".
The business was "easily switchable to another provider", he said.
If we were buying something online from Currys, this would be a plus for us. When we buy anything online, we prefer suppliers who do not use Royal Mail. From our perspective, the business is better than it was, but does not seem to have shaken off its public sector ethos. Strikes just hammer home that message.

Which one though? Hermes?
'The business was "easily switchable to another provider", he said.'
A big poster for every union leader's wall.
Hermes is pretty good these days.
James - Hermes, now Evri, delivers via a chap who lives nearby and works fine. The others do too, but we never know where we are with Royal Mail in terms of delivery dates and times. It's improving, but given a choice we'd still prefer any courier over Royal Mail.
Sam - it's as if they think it doesn't matter. Maybe they think Starmer will renationalise it.
djc - that's what we find. Round here they deliver via a local chap and he's very reliable.
