Postal deliveries are going to be disrupted by the TT.

The Post Office has announced changes to its delivery and collection services.

From tomorrow (Saturday) to Friday, June 9, on race days, deliveries to addresses on the course or where access is only possible via the course, will be significantly affected.

For areas that are inaccessible because of road closures, deliveries may take place on the day after the scheduled races.

If races are delayed the Post Office says it will attempt to deliver to these addresses before the roads closing on the succeeding day.

The Post Office says it will also try to maintain normal collection times where possible however it has warns that there could be some disruption.

High traffic volumes, especially on race days, might also cause some delays.

On non-race days there will be a complete delivery of mail but there is a possibility of some delay as deliveries will include mail which was not able to be delivered the previous day.

Addresses within the TT course that are affected by the road closures were recently issued a letter from the Post Office explaining the specific arrangements and offering them the option to collect their mail from their local delivery office or make alternative arrangements.

People who haven’t received this letters should contact customer services on 664664.

With TT comes an increase in vehicle volumes and speed throughout the island and all postal staff will wear high visibility jackets and their vehicles will be equipped with rotating amber lights whilst carrying deliveries during TT week to ensure that motorists can clearly see them on the road.
