The Royal Mail's loss has been the gain of many courier services which are being flooded with demands from new customers.

However, the majority have reported they can't cope with the influx of orders, according to the Telegraph, with some companies claiming volumes of mail have risen by 25 per cent.

While some don't have the means to cope, Parcel2Go most certainly does and consumers can rest assured that their parcels will be delivered to where they need to be safely and quickly.

One company which is worried is UK Mail, with the firms chief executive Guy Buswell warning that a sudden influx of new business could be dangerous for many parcel delivery providers.

He is not alone, as many other firms are concerned about the same issue, including Hermes, whose chief executive Carol Woodhead told the Telegraph that they may have to take down part of their website to control volumes.

To be sure, play it safe, and send your mail with Parcel2Go.
