This is to advise that we are experiencing delays with the United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) operations, which is impacting the delivery of mail to addresses in the U.S. CBP is responsible for all mail (parcels and letters) entering the U.S.

We are reaching out to CBP officials and our colleagues at the United States Postal Service (USPS) to find a resolution to this temporary situation. At this time we are unable to provide further information. Please note, the on-time delivery guarantee for Xpresspost-USA does not apply in the case of delay or non-delivery caused by an event beyond the control of Canada Post, including those caused by customs or other regulatory authorities.

It is unclear if this is caused by the current trade riff between the two countries or if this is some kind of volume or resource issue.

Canadian sellers should monitor delivery times to the U.S. and may want to advise their customers that there is a delay problem.

If you are Canadian seller, have you noticed any such delays? Let us know in the comments section down below or over on our Facebook Group.
