These service disruptions affect Priority Mail Express International, Priority Mail International, First-Class Mail International, First-Class Package International Service, International Priority Airmail, International Surface Air Lift, and M-Bag items. For already deposited items, USPS employees will endorse the items as “Mail Service Suspended — Return to Sender” and then place them in the mail stream for return.
For any returned item bearing a customs form, USPS will, upon request, refund postage and fees on mail returned due to the suspension of service. For all other returned items not bearing a customs declarations form, the Postal Service will, upon request, refund postage and fees on mail returned due to the suspension of service, or the sender may re-mail them with the existing postage once service has been restored. When remailing under this option, customers must cross out the markings “Mail Service Suspended — Return to Sender.” Unless otherwise noted, service suspensions to a particular country do not affect delivery of military and diplomatic mail.
Due to the loss of regular air service, USPS Priority Mail Express’ service level coverage to Alaska ZIP Codes has been changed to Loss Only and no ‘delivery-by’ date will be provided until further notice. Impacted ZIP Codes are as follows:
