People cram 70lbs. We had a box of Lysol which was shipped as media mail from a company in New York this goes on a lot lost revenue just on that one box seven dollars. And I had a box of packing peanuts sent to me via media mail from a company in Colorado. I thought it odd that they were sending the peanuts in a box instead of a bag. Then I saw that they had placed a CD on top of the peanuts so it would be the first thing you saw when you opened the box.
At first I thought it had fallen off their desk during the packaging process. However, there are certain cases where there may be no available route still open. In these situations we will hold the items until service resumes and where possible our client services team will try to contact you.
Any items in transit or within the global postal network at the time of a suspension will likely be held until the items can resume their journey or be delivered. We have no control once items have left us but we will endeavour to keep customers informed where possible.
The vast majority of embargoes are the result of this rather then the destination not accepting mail. We are therefore working hard with our suppliers to source adequate transport but where this is available, there is often a per kilo surcharge mechanism in place. That said, we still have at least one route to most countries and are currently distributing mail on a daily basis for these destinations. Where your mailing could incur significant additional cost, our client services team will contact you to discuss the options available to you.
It is unclear whether the any or all of postal delivery system will be be affected and we are seeking to clarify. In any event, we will attempt to move mail and parcels as far as we can — however, significant delays should be expected. We will update if he hear anything further. This will affect all units and operations and will mean that we will only be able to handover mail on specific days.
This is as a result of the limited freight capacity available. Depending on the size and weight of the items you are sending, the impact of this surcharge will vary. Our client services team will discuss this situation with each customer where relevant but in the meantime you can contact the team at [email protected] should you wish to.
The exact countries vary from supplier to supplier and the list changes rapidly i. Broadly speaking we have at least one delivery route to nearly every country — if you want to speak more specifically about your mailing and any potential impacts, please contact our client service team at [email protected].
For items where a signature from the recipient has been requested, this will most likely not take place — instead, the delivery person will sign on the recipients behalf. In addition, social distancing measures are changing the deliver process for all items around the world. In general, the delivery person will hand over items at what they deem is a safe distance. At present, it appears the most common interpretation of this is that delivery person should not come into direct or indirect contact with other individuals and should be able to complete the deliver whilst maintaining social distancing measures.
As such, many post offices and other suppliers, will not collect from individuals or their premises and in some cases they reserve the right to not enter apartment blocks or other enclosed spaces they deem unsafe to make deliveries.
This affects most European airports and not just Heathrow and as such our options to move mail to the USA via air are extremely limited. For the time being, we can still send USA items via air but at a slightly higher cost although we are not sure how long this arrangement will be available to us for.
In the event our mail services via air to US are suspended, we will inform you accordingly. This can vary from supplier to supplier as the embargo may be the result of a lack of transport connections rather than the end post office placing a block.
Ultimately, we are working with our suppliers to route mail and parcels via routes that still open. However, as previously communicated this may come at a higher cost or no available routing may be available. In the latter instance we will attempt to move mail as far down the chain as possible in an effort to reduce delays once service normalise.
Additionally, we have been notified that some delivery agents will not deliver to residences within apartment blocks unless handover can take place outside. This will affect a large proportion of mail sent to Russia as Moscow is used by a range of suppliers as a gateway into the country. Monday 16th March — SPAIN — Following a Spanish government directive, selected postcodes have been embargoed in the Barcelona area as a result of the area being closed off.
Any mail or parcels sent to this area may be returned. We are seeking clarification and will update accordingly as to whether this also applies to freight. We expect this to have an affect on all aspects of mail and courier sent to the country with delays and potential non-delivery events likely. Italian Post have issued the following guidelines that come into immediate effect and will last until at least the 15th March. Where transport routes are still accessible, we will attempt to move mail as far as is possible, but subsequent final processing and delivery delays may still occur due to the measures being put in place locally by various governments.
Monday 24th February — ITALY — Poste Italiane informs that, concerning the measures to minimise the spread of the novel coronavirus in Italy, the table below shows an update of the situation as of 25 February , at which time precautionary closure was in place in the following municipalities and their corresponding postcodes areas.
In addition, transport routes and available capacity are starting to be impacted, predominantly in Asia at this stage. Where transport routes are available, we will attempt to move mail as far as is possible, but final processing and delivery may still be significantly affected.
