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?

Waste of time using Hermes as they are always having the same problem, over a year ago there was a message saying Major Disruption, ordered something which was due to be delivered by Heremes (which I didin't know at the time) and get the same message.

If they havn't sorted out a major problem within a year it doesnt bode well for a big company.
