To blame royal mail

Friends childrens joint birthday party this weekend. I've bought them personalised wooden gifts that I ordered in early Novemeber.

Messaged the company just over 2 weeks ago who said they where sent out but they are having trouble due to strikes. Then updated to say parcel has been received at depot, but I still have not received the parcel.

AIBU to explain to friend that the children don't have their parcels due to royal mail, or should I get the kids a voucher and save the other presents for next year so at least they have something at their party?

Just say they've not arrived yet 🤷🏻‍♀️ no need to blame anyone. Everyone knows that all courier services are struggling at the moment (cost of living strikes, labour shortages, weather...) Kids will have other presents from their party so probably won't notice. Mine always love late 'bonus' presents!
