hermes major event

Just had this tracking message for an ebay hermes parcel.

 

 At National sorting hub

2nd November Delay due to major event. 

 

Any one know what has happened and if it is sensible to send any more parcels via hermes at the moment?

It usually means that something has happened to temporarily halt operations. It could be a fire, a power cut, a flood (vast areas of the UK have been suffering very heavy rain and high winds for several days now), but who knows. The only way to know is to contact Hermes and ask (if the information hasn't been posted on their website).
