Good grief! USPS won’t carry mail to NZ for a while:
… “unavailability of transportation”.
“refrain from mailing items … until further notice”.
Disrupted USPS services to NZ include … airmail and surface mail.
Miraz Jordan @lmika Yes, they mentioned Aus in the article. And a bunch of other places.
💬 John Philpin but fedex, ups, dhl et al will continue - I think this also reflects on the inadequacy of USPS
And it’s not new - they lost two identical Amazon boxes last year - deliver - deliver - deliver ,,, said the emails … and then - they just fell off the radar.
I then used you post - had the stuff in under a week.
💬 John Philpin the full USPS list … if ever there was any doubt about the importance of NZ and OZ ( 2 of the 5 eyes) to the US .. there is no longer!
💬 John Philpin @timapple I understand the investment problem - like the uk’s Royal post I seem to recall that the Govt also hampers them from real innovation - ‘that’s not what you do’ … kind of like when bt got into cellular and was forced to float out O2 which is now ironically owned by Spain’s Telefonica !!!
The border hand off is a good point - but that reason would suggest that it is the problem of those countries - but it seems to be more to do with the shipping lines.
