British Catalogers Brace For Postal Strike

Jillian Bamsey of Devon-based mail order firm and CatEx member, International Dance Supplies, said: "We've already got contingency plans in place, as we have had for the last six to eight weeks. We will send more and more of our parcels by FedEx. We won't let the Royal Mail destroy our business, two years ago we had to do the same thing. We have to make a promise to our customers that we will get our deliveries to them, we've got people with dance shows going on and they have to be on show. We won't let our customers down and we won't let the Royal Mail destroy us."
