:postcard: Mail Suspension Alerts

Postal Monitor was updated for:
Åland, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Finland.

@Drakon75 thank you for the link and the info about “*”.
I have contacted BH Posta and Hrvatska pošta recently. BH Posta emailed me an updated list, but Hrvatska pošta says their list has not changed (let’s hope they will update soon).

Hi @toriaya — welcome to the forum! :wave:

At the page they are not listing China as suspended. And on the spreadsheet file, it seems to say that it was temporarily suspended from April 22nd but was resumed on the 28th:

Obnoveno přijímání zásilek dne 20.4.2020. Opětovně zastaven příjem dne 22. 4. 2022. Opětovně obnoveno přijímání zásilek dne 28.4.2022.

Am I misunderstanding the translation perhaps?

When was the Belarus mail suspension removed from USA? Am I able to mail a postcard now?

It was removed on April 30th, so things should work now! :slight_smile:

The UAE Post has updated the list of available destinations just a few days ago and they list Ukraine as a working destination.

Nonetheless, I reached out to their customer support today and they said that regular mail (eg: postcards) works for Ukraine, but not courier (which is not commonly used for postcards).

Were you trying to send a postcard via regular post? Maybe you can show them that page at the post office?

Thank you, I sent one today, let’s hope it gets to it’s destination.

Moldova is suspending all postal correspondence outbound to Russia, as per this recent Facebook post on the official page of Poșta Moldovei. Approximate translation:

Poșta Moldovei communicates that starting 13 May 2022 receiving any kind of postal items (EMS, letters, packages) bound Russia is suspended for technical reasons.

I contacted An Post (Ireland) today who told me that it is possible to send post from Ireland to the overseas regions of France.

That’s useful information! :+1: Did they by chance mention which ones though? A quick look rendered some confusing results. Some of the overseas territories are indeed serviced by France’s La Poste which explains what An Post says, but some of the French overseas territories seem to have their own Postal Operator, so it’s not clear if those can be reached too (through France). If they didn’t mention, could you ask?

@Violet2022 Maybe you could you help here? I imagine those destinations are considered domestic to La Poste so they are likely listed somewhere?
