With most of the UK Post network back at work, after the suspension of industrial action, IOM Post has warned that it will take some days to clear the backlog.
They expect services to and from the UK to improve considerably over the next few days and is advising its customers to "post as normal".
They say, with increasing volumes arriving over the next few days, they warn that delivery times might be " a little later than normal" but are
asking customers to bear with them.
Manx postal staff have not been involved in the UK actions.
