Updated June 16, 2021
Our partner carrier networks are still experiencing delays. The holidays brought unprecedented volumes and carriers are working hard to process shipments. Expect continued delays with all shipments. Carriers are processing and delivering record volumes while maintaining the necessary COVID precautions.
Delays impact processing, tracking updates and delivery times for all shipments. Our client support agents do not have any additional information than what is shown on our tracking pages.
As always delivery times are estimated and not guaranteed. This extends to U.S. bound shipments as we have seen delays with both USPS First Class & Priority mail services. Most carriers have removed any service guarantees.
Communication is key! Let your customers know that packages are seeing delays. Find the most up to date details directly on our partner carrier’s website linked below.
