Delivery delay warning! Severe storms hit many parts of the United States, USPS issued a suspension notice!

It is learned that according to foreign media reports, on December 15, the winter storm continued to hit the northeastern United States and caused strong winds, heavy snow and rain. So far, about 207,000 households in seven states in the United States have lost power, and more than 1.5 million people are under tornado warnings.

Severe weather has damaged the U.S. transportation network. Package operators such as USPS have issued service suspension notices, and online marketplaces such as eBay have also announced protection measures for sellers.

USPS stated in the announcement that due to the impact of the storm, mail and packages will no longer be delivered, and UPS will close post offices in affected areas, including Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, etc. In addition, due to the backlog of packages caused by the storm, some items will not be delivered in time, but UPS guarantees that they will not be lost.

eBay said in a December 14 announcement: "Due to the approaching severe storm, it will automatically make necessary adjustments to the estimated delivery date so that buyers can be informed of the shipping status of the goods in a timely manner. eBay will continue to closely monitor changes in weather and shipping conditions and implement seller protection measures.

For sellers who are already dealing with delivery delays caused by congestion during the holiday shipping peak season, this storm is undoubtedly "adding insult to injury". As the holiday season comes to an end, many packages may not be delivered in time.
