Britain’s Royal Mail is planning to rent hundreds of extra trucks and possibly hire more staff in preparation for the release of
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. This is due to the number of preorders already in for
Deathly Hallows as well as their experience two years ago when more than half a million copies of
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince were delivered to one in 50 British homes by the service’s postal workers.
Quote:
We’re already planning for the launch,” Royal Mail spokesman James Eadie said Thursday. “We’re talking to retailers about what volumes they expect, and what they expect from us, so that we can put the logistics in place to deliver on the date of issue.
Deathly Hallows is currently listed as the No. 1 book on Amazon.co.uk.
