A Royal Mail spokesman said: “In areas for which the Met Office has issued a red warning, we have had no choice but to suspend deliveries and close our delivery offices.
“In areas covered by an amber warning, we are assessing risk based on local knowledge, and will keep services running where possible.
“We will be reviewing the situation throughout the day, while continuing to prioritise the safety of our staff and customers.”
Parcel delivery firm DHL has also warned of delays because of the severe weather conditions.

It said: “As a result, parcels for delivery in Scotland, Wales and the South West may incur a 24 hour delay.

“As Storm Eunice moves across the UK, further disruption to services may occur. All efforts will be made to deliver any delayed parcels as the weather improves.”
Storm Eunice has already downed power lines, uprooted trees, closed schools and brought train lines to a standstill.
It has brought winds of up to 122mph to parts of the country – stronger than the gusts of the Great Storm of 1987.
Meanwhile, fast food fans have been left disappointed after Deliveroo and Ubereats stopped deliveries due to the storm.
