Suspension of Mail / Shipping Services in Some Countries
Shipping services can be delayed, restricted, or temporarily suspended for a destination. Availability varies by carrier and service, and can change after an offer is prepared.
Before accepting an offer, please check whether your selected shipping service is currently available to your country. A shipping quote does not guarantee that a carrier is accepting shipments to that destination.

USPS also says international mail service to Canada is scheduled to be suspended starting November 29, 2026, because of a Canadian postal workers’ strike. This is an upcoming change, not a suspension already in effect. Check the USPS notice for Canada.
Argentina’s destination notice specifies a temporary suspension of Priority Mail International, First-Class Package International Service and listed commercial packet/mailbag services from October 23 through November 11 because of construction at Buenos Aires Airport. Check the Argentina notice for affected services.

A service alert ending or disappearing does not mean every affected package has caught up. For an order already in transit, check its tracking and contact the carrier about any continuing delay.
