Hi:
I live in good old Newfoundland. The mail has sopped here. Not sure about outlets in pharmacies but the main Canada Post building has been shut down. A positive case was found and until the remaining workers are cleared no mail is being handled.

Good luck Ladies and Gentlemen in these uncertain times.

Cheers

Canada Post was closed yesterday around 3pm. I saw someone inside but all lights were off. I live in a city of 31,000. I am unsure if the Canada Post outlets at either of the two Shoppers here are open or not. I will try again today and update you.

Could be that selected smaller branches are closing? Or maybe ones that had a confirmed COVID-19 case?

Okay yesterday was my scheduled shopping trip (I go every 2 weeks since I have a family of 4 to take care of) and my stops included gocery store and then to pharmacy for meds so post office was needed too.

I was told that all of canada is still getting mail service except Newfoundland and that all mail to overseas and Europe all on ho;ld due to COVID-19.

I am still getting mail at my house and I notice3d the post offices are reduced schedules like 10-5 or 11-6.

Please lets all be safe and we will get through this ordeal

Happy Trading and remmeber social distancing

One letter carrier dead here in US, bronx, 50 yrs old. Three dozen confirmed cases among USPS employees......so far.

USPS is still open... business as usual. Trying to practice social distancing in service lobby. Installing plexiglass "sneeze guards" or curtains to protect employees and customers. many people in US get prescription meds by mail, so, curtailing delivery is not an option. Plugging along trying to do the best they can.

I am still receiving packages as well. Able to send out and all.

USPS is still open in California - Modified hours for the retail and their post boxes. Seems normal time for USPS post I think.

TO Canada it seems that is very much like Holidays where it can take up to a month to get to Canada with no reason on why (as in city or distance).

Not sure why

My only guess is even though I paypal it as a large envelope they treat it as a letter. So it goes by truck? Or a buddy of mine that works in Canada Post in Alberta says it might get stuck in Customs.

I can see it gets to Vancouver, but after that tracking stops since it's in Canada.

Example

3/10 - to Ontario - not there yet - hit Vancouver 3/13 (UPDATED Got there 3/31/20)

3/12 - to Winnipeg - Got there 3/26

3/15 - to Ontario - got there 3/25

Thanks for posting these shipping updates.

I know cards are the last thing people should be worrying about, but I am hopefully that a package I have incoming shows up... eventually.

The last update was March 6th in NY and I am still waiting for it. I know the mail must be crazy right now, but I'm hoping my package doesn't get lost in the mix. It holds two PC cards that I need for my collection... One /10 and the other /5 so it's not like there is plenty to go around, haha.
