USPS did not specify any challenges regarding mail movement to and within the island. The airport in San Juan is open.
Tracking of mail destined for Puerto Rico may show extended time of no movement at a mail facility in the United States or Puerto Rico. Therefore, sellers and merchants should continue to monitor shipments for any progress and advise customers of mail delays.
Also, please check our USPS operational disruptions pages for domestic and international mail shipments that are updated on a regular basis.
