Royal Mail workers are set to hold 19 days of strikes in the build-up to Christmas.
The Communication Workers Union confirmed that the strikes will be held by all workers for 24 hours starting at 4am on October 13, 20 and 25, and November 28.
Other strikes will take place with different teams on other dates, but all will have a knock-on effect, including for Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
