The list for Mexico is wrong. As @sacmersault says the Facebook page (and the official website) does not have this information.
I asked at my local postal office: Only Ukraine and Russia comprise the list.
Please correct this since I was assigned an address from Ukraine and now I have to find a way to make it arrive.
Thank you for the heads up on this. We are currently checking with Nepal Post to make sure that notice includes letter post items and not just parcels as the translated text is not clear. We’ll update once we hear back.
The information we have comes directly from Correos customer support who confirmed explicitly that the route to Ukraine is available.
This seems to be confirmed by the fact that postcards seem to be arriving:
Postcard MX-72415
Postcard MX-72467
Postcard MX-72783
Postcard MX-72174
Postcard MX-72345
Postcard MX-71411
Postcard MX-71256
That said, the information we received on this was back in September and we’ll check again in case it has changed.
Thanks for the update on Kenya! I still have 5 cards traveling to Russia and Belarus from my last trip and will keep an eye on what happens with the cards I send this trip. I’ll can also ask one of my local friends if they can help find anything official regarding these routes online.
I’m wondering if an update is needed about Taiwan? I drew an address from Taiwan today but I assume that now is not a good time to send postcards there given the earthquake last week.
Hi @Alb
It is up to your country’s postal operator to decide whether to suspend mail or not.
So far, no postal/logistic services including Taiwan’s Chunghwa Post, have suspended mail to Taiwan due to the earthquake. Delays are inevitable, but no suspensions.
Generally speaking, it is a judgement call for postal operators, depending on the amount of the mail volume, the expected recovery time for the affected area (and how the rest of the system is functioning), the labor/cost efficiency, and so on.
For example, If the postal traffic is not high, a receiving country would still accept mail or a sending country could hold mail until the situation improves.
Unless it is affecting a whole country (like a war, a coup, a dysfunctional government, a pandemic, or other major national emergency), postal operators usually do not suspend international mail due to a disaster.
No countries suspended mail for recent events like wile fires in Australia and Chile, volcanic explosions in Iceland, earthquakes in Japan, flooding in Norway, Germany, Netherlands, Thailand, etc.
I’m sure @paulo and @meiadeleite are closely monitoring postal traffic to/from Taiwan and would update 'Postal Monitor when it’s needed.
Update for Albania! 
Destinacionet ku mund të dërgohen objekte postare (Posta Shqiptare)
According to the list, the changes are the following:
Added: Ivory Coast/Côte d’Ivoire (Bregu i Fildishtë)
Removed: Sri Lanka, Zambia (Zambi), Zimbabwe (Zimbabve)
I do not know how the lists are updated. I am from Libya, and according to the list of countries that can send to Libya, there are many countries that can send normally to Libya. This list is incorrect. I received envelopes and cards from several countries on this list during this month, including Albania, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Croatia, Finland, Russia, and Senegal.
The AusPost website says that post to Libya from Australia is still suspended. I can’t find them now but I’ve seen posts that say that suspensions can be due to lack of transport or other events resulting in long travel times, which could mean that letters could potentially still make it, it’ll just take a while. How long did it take for the card from Australia to arrive? It’d also be interesting to hear how they posted it; in a post box or at a post office?
Hello @fareglarkt
Postal Monitor is updated according to the announcements or information provided by the postal operator (or sometimes the government) of each country.
We do not update 'Postal Monitor based on individual cases, because the postal routes have to be open from all parts of the country, for anyone, at any time, consistently.
Please refer to the first post. Thank you.
its send to me in 7-feb and i got it in 11-mar, about 1 month, but it was send to Libya via Germany
Postal Monitor was recently updated for:
Albania, Australia, Christmas Is., Cocos Is., Dominican Republic, Georgia, Haiti, Mexico, Nepal, Norfolk Is., Seychelles, Slovenia, Trinidad and Tobago.
@zhuronhua and @1nt, thank you for the reports.
We were confused by that EMS note as well, as their spreadsheet file says the route to New Zealand is working, and has no note about being only for EMS. Still, we temporarily suspended the route until we could confirm it and, indeed, postcards are arriving from Russia to New Zealand, so the route is working and we restored it on the Postal Monitor.

I saw a post on Xiaohongshu said due to Postal blockade, she can’t send mail from China to Jamaica.Besides, China Post notified it doesn’t accept mail send to Palestine (Israel’s services have been restored in March 8th. 2024)
Airmail to JAMAICA is now truly suspended, but Surface Mail to JAMAICA is normal.
All kinds of mail to PALESTINE is now suspended.

Govt. of India-Dept. of Posts has recently issued updates (International mail on hold) regarding service to Israel and Iran.
Nepal Post Can Send mails to these countries
Please update your data
@HimanshuAgrawal
Thank you for your reports.
It looks like the reports match the information we had received from Nepali Post, therefore, no changes to Postal Monitor this time
Please keep us posted. Thank you.
German Post stopped sending to Russia. Correct me if I’m wrong. But from my experience, I tried sending mail via Germany to Russia, it got returned to my mailbox with a stamp saying service suspended. Thank you
That’s not true. The service isn’t suspended. It’s working normally.
Please note that using via does not guarantee that your mail will be forwarded by Deutsche Post, especially if they did not get paid for their service (ie a German stamp was not used).
