USPS shipments

Domestic shipments are minimally affected, but we will review any changes to this situation and react appropriately, posting updates here and on Facebook. For more information please see: USPS Service Alerts

International shipments may occasionally be delayed due to the pandemic. Occasionally, Priority Mail and First-Class packages may require more time to be delivered due to limited transportation availability as a result of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) impacts. If a package is routed via surface mail (on a ship) due to a lack of availability of air freight capacity then this typically adds about 4 weeks to the transit time. For country-specific information please refer to: USPS International Service Disruptions
 

DHL shipments

DHL operations are largely back to normal, but delivery to some countries may still be affected by the pandemic. For more information see: DHL COVID 19 updates
