Norway updated their list 15.02, but doesn’t say what the changes are.

French Polynesia : flights to the USA are suspended until 31 March at least, therefore USA-bound mail is suspended as well.

Source link for Belarus is outdated, but list looks correct. Here is actual link (posted: Feb 10 2021): https://blog.belpost.by/Novosti/Priyemmezhdunarodnoypocht22

Unfortunately, only in russian. They updated this list time to time by creating new page, so this link will expire someday

Argh! :sweat: We hate that they do this — makes it really trick to track changes on the page. It’s updated to the latest version now. Thank you for letting us know!

@Norway_girl Could we trouble you to check with someone from Norway Post’s helpdesk on the validity of their new lists of countries to which mail is not working?

They changed it recently, removed the list of countries to which they can send mail to and instead replaced it with just 4 countries they cannot send mail to. A drastic change like that from one day to the next seems strange… It is accurate, or did someone make a mistake? If you could help us double-check this, I would really appreciate it!

Thank you so much for sharing this with us :+1: . They haven’t added it to the website site yet, but we went ahead and updated the Postal Monitor with the changes.

I’ll contact Posten Norge to be 100% sure. But I found this site about the Covid-19 situation when heading to the help section. It says, marked in yellow: “List of countries it isn’t possible to send letters to. Only a few countries it isn’t possible to send letters to now.”

Edited to add: Tried arguing with a chatbot now, but that bot can only provide me with the list and can’t confirm if it’s right or not. Can’t send them an e-mail, as there’s no **** e-mail address to be found on their website! Nor any contact form where I can ask. So I guess I have to make a call tomorrow…

I’ve been in contact with the press office and received a reply today. He said they’ve been sending to most of the countries on the old list the entire time, and these 4 countries are the only once they can’t send to through other countries as of today. There may still be some delays, though.

Hello, @andraaa and @anon3181403, welcome to the Forum :wave:

tsueeee, Malaysia’s International Express service is EMS with an additional surcharge, isn’t it?
We are watching only for regular letter-post (postcards) for Postcrossing members. Do you know where to find the information?
