THE US Postal Service has suspended the delivery guarantee on Priority Mail Express International shipments destined for China and Hong Kong, effective from February 10 due to the coronavirus.
'Due to widespread airline cancellations, capacity constraints and restrictions into this area, the US Postal Service has temporarily suspended the guarantee on Priority Mail Express International destined for China and Hong Kong.'
According to a report by the Associated Press, the USPS had informed its counterparts at the Universal Postal Union (UPU) that it would no longer accept transit mail destined to China, Hong Kong and Macau. Transit mail is mail from other countries that go through the US Postal Service offices of exchange.
Due to the viral outbreak of the coronavirus in China, many airlines have cut back or cancelled flights to China. The reduction in air cargo capacity has put a strain on postal services worldwide to find room for mail and parcels heading to China, reported Florida-based eSellerCafe.
