Canada Good Some impact

Canada Post was closed 21–26 November. The impact has been a processing delay of up to 7 days to shipments accepted from 19 November. This delay is expected to continue into the end of peak period due to an increase in volumes.
Australia & NZ Good Some impact

Exports from Australia are delayed. Please refer to the Australia Post status page for the latest list.

Deliveries within Australia are liable to some delay due to fewer planes operating and carriers running behind on shipments. In addition, South Australia has gone into a 2-week full lockdown, which may impact some courier delivery times.

With the exception of Air New Zealand, all airlines have terminated their Australia to New Zealand services. As of 1st December, the Government has withdrawn all airline subsidies, meaning that couriers now have only 2 passenger aircraft in service (lower deck cargo space only), flying once a week (down from eight, four times weekly). Couriers have continued service into New Zealand but unfortunately will experience a few delays.

RoW Good Some impact

Expect some delays to all destinations as carriers adjust to reduced staffing and local lockdowns. Refer to the Royal Mail's incident bulletin page or the individual courier pages below.
