:postcard: Mail Suspension Alerts

@tangqiuning This topic(thread) is for reporting official postal information to update 'Postal Monitor.

You might like to ask the question in the North American community or ask your fellow postcrossers in China.

@paulo - a short update from me :slight_smile:

So far - nothing. I got an automated e-mail confirmation that they have received my message but there was no deadline for the reply, just that they will reply (who knows when). There is also no e-mail address to write to, just a phone number. If I’m feeling annoyed enough, I might just call them but that will not help much, since it will be only me hearing their answer on the phone.

Honestly, the shape our post is currently in (big money issues, post office hours have been cut across the board, people are being let go) - maybe nobody has yet read my question…

No official information available to date as to the reasons for this action.

The request for mutual aid is complete, there are enough people willing.
I will contact the 4 people chosen tomorrow.
THANKS !

China is no longer in the Postal Monitor . I host the Postcard Set RR - The Sequel and would like to know whether or not I can start a group with a Chinese member in it. Can anyone help me out?

Hi @Shalottslady
Unfortunately China Post currently does not announce or publish international mail delays and suspensions to the public.

Since this topic (thread) is meant for reporting official information from postal operators, please ask questions in General Topic or Chinese community.

Germany can send to South Africa, Yemen, Niger and Haiti. This should be taken of the suspension list.

Could you show us where you get the information?

The countries are not listed as banned on the website of the German Postal Service DHL, and if you send mail to these countries, it arrives - tried it myself (working in an international firm)

Could you provide the URL, please? (there are a few lists on their website, we need to know which one you were referring to)
Thank you.

it’s in German, but the third column shows you the approximate number of days that it will take to send something there. If a country is not on it, or has no number in that column, then you can’t send something.

Hope that helps
