ALERT: The USPS has temporarily suspended mail to Canada as of Nov. 29
As of November 29, 2024, the USPS has temporarily suspended mail to Canada due to a strike by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers. This strike has disrupted Canada Post’s ability to process and deliver packages. While you won’t be able to send packages to Canada through USPS for now, FedEx and UPS are still delivering to Canada, though delays may occur due to the ongoing strike.
