Changes to postal services over TT week 2017


Isle of Man Post Office would like to announce details of changes to its delivery and collection services for residential and commercial customers over TT week.

From Saturday 3rd to Friday 9th of June, 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 for any reason races are delayed the Post Office will attempt to deliver to these addresses prior to the roads closing on the succeeding day. The Post Office will also endeavour to maintain normal collection times where possible however it kindly asks the public to be mindful of the potential for some disruption. High traffic volumes, especially on race days, may cause some delays.

On non-race days there will be a complete delivery of mail but please be aware that 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. For anyone not yet in receipt of this please contact customer services on 664664.

With TT comes an increase in vehicle volumes and speed throughout the Island and therefore, 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.

All Post Offices will be open as usual during TT week; however on Senior Race Day the following Post Offices will be closed.
• Anagh Coar
• Ballasalla
• Ballaugh
• Crosby Terrace
• Foxdale
• Governors Hill
• Jurby
