Why isnât Liechtenstein on the drop down? I was just messing around when I saw Belarus doesnât send to Liechtenstein. I went to check Liechtenstein and it isnât on the dropdown?
Hi @lyndac
As it says in the first post,
If you do not see your country on the list, itâs because they have
*No suspensions (you can send mail to all areas in the world)
or
*No information (your postal system does not provide current information to the public)
Anyone can contact their postal agency to have them publish or update the list of suspended destinations.
Please note that international postal routes are NOT interchangeable: âCountry A can send to Country Bâ does not mean âCounty B can send to Country Aâ

I understand what you are saying but there is an incoming restriction on Liechtenstein so I wondered why it wasnât listed. Belarus does not send to them.
The Postal Monitor only shows outgoing suspensions. Hence if Belarus doesnât send to Liechtenstein it will only show in the Belarus drop down. As it doesnât show in the Liechtenstein drop down, there is no suspension of the reverse route.

Postal Monitor is oriented towards outgoing suspensions. It is mainly used as to keep track of where the mail cannot be sent to.
Because we currently do not have entries for suspended destinations for Liechtenstein, the country does not show up on 'Postal Monitor.
If we are to show incoming suspensions, 'Postal Monitor will become a lengthy list of 248 destinations and many of which will show only incoming suspensions.
There are postal operators that do not share their suspension list with the general public.
A country showing only incoming suspensions will not mean the country sends to all destinations.
Edited: Of course it can automatically show the opposite, but it is set no to.
'Postal Monitor is for outgoing, not incoming, suspensions.
The current setting prevents misleading information regarding outgoing suspensions:
As explained above, a country with 0 outgoing suspensions + 10 incoming suspensions does not mean that the country sends to all destinations. But a countries with 10 outgoing suspensions + whatever-the-number of incoming suspensions means the country does not send to 10 countries â this is the purpose of 'Postal Monitor and thatâs why only the countries with outgoing suspensions are shown.
Edited: We got a list of suspended destinations from Liechtenstein Post, so now the country is in 'Postal Monitor.

I believed that if you had an incoming and an outgoing tab, you were using both of them. As a retired Database Admin I knew that once you had once set of data a simple query produced the opposite. I had no idea you were hand entering the data. Sorry for bothering you.

Does anyone know if there are currently any issues with Germany receiving post at the moment? I am from the UK and mail to Germany usually takes 4-10 days for my cards to get registered. I currently have 4 postcards on their way to Germany that are at 25 days plus and 2 of which that are now expired. All my other cards are arriving, Iâve checked and all these members have been online within the last couple of days, so Iâm very confused. Iâm from the UK where postcards cost the same worldwide so itâs not a stamp price issue.
Hi @Lissy99 this topic(thread) is for reporting postal information to update 'Postal Monitor.
You might like to ask the question in the German community or ask other postcrossers in the UK.

@lavonq @Ludek: Poczta Polska seems to have a new website and the pages with the list of available/unavailable international destinations no longer exist (and donât redirect to new ones). Iâm not finding the same info on the new website â perhaps itâs easier for you as the website is in Polish?
It seems that there is no longer any such information available on the new website.
I may ask at the post office when Iâm back in Poland. I doubt that Polish Post has started sending to Russia again. All other destinations might be available again.
Russian Post has resumed delivery of items to Benin, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Gabon, Guinea, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Cote dâIvoire, Malawi, Niger, Rwanda, Togo and Eritrea.

I asked them about this via their contact form - if there is an answer, I will let you know. The info is nowhere to be found, it seems.

Thank you for reporting this. They donât seem to have updated the usual file yet, so weâll wait for that to happen first.
