Attention to international customers regarding USPS (Updated May 21)
Posted by KONSTANTIN MARTYNENKO
COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the international mail system as a result of the decreasing transport capacity and the resultant tonnage of delayed volumes backlogged at transport hubs. Some countries have stopped mail exchange at all. For most of the countries, 6-8 weeks delivery is becoming normal. Shipping companies out of EMS Cooperative (such as UPS or DHL), logistics cargo companies - all suffer from COVID-19. COVID-19 becomes part of our world, and we don't have another one to escape.
A primary USPS sorting facility for international shipments - Miami international Distribution Center - becomes a critical bottleneck last three months. Many international orders stay there since the end of March regardless of the shipping rate.
