Veterans Day Holiday
The nation honors its military vets today. Since Veteran's Day is a national holiday in the United States, no postal shipments will be dispatched today. UPS and Fedex are operating normally.
Postal Service Level Observations
Over the summer, our postal shipments to customers across Europe were very fast, very efficient and there was nary a hiccup to be found. Over the past couple of weeks as we head into the season when package volumes swell to abnormal levels, we've begun to notice slower deliveries to our customers in Europe and surrounding territories.
In some cases, the additional time added to a Priority Mail International package was 14 business days - during the summer, the same package arrived in 3-6 days total. Due to the seasonal slowdown, we ask our customers in Europe to allow additional time for parcels to reach their destinations. In related news, the U.S. Postal Service is looking to cut jobs.
