Does mail run
A question that gets to the heart of modern life!
In most areas, mail delivery services continue to operate, albeit with some changes and challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Here's a general overview:
- USPS (United States Postal Service): In the United States, the USPS is still delivering mail and packages, including first-class mail, priority mail, and packages. However, some services, like international mail and certain package services, may be experiencing delays.
- Canada Post: In Canada, Canada Post is also continuing to deliver mail and packages, although some services may be affected by the pandemic.
- Other countries: In many other countries, mail delivery services are also operating, although some may have reduced hours, limited services, or modified delivery procedures to ensure public health and safety.
However, it's essential to note that:
- Delays are possible: With the increased volume of online shopping and package delivery, there may be delays in processing and delivering mail and packages.
- Service disruptions: Some areas may experience service disruptions due to weather, natural disasters, or other factors.
- Changes in delivery procedures: To reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission, some mail carriers may be taking additional precautions, such as wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) or limiting contact with customers.
To check the status of mail delivery in your area, you can:
- Visit the USPS website (usps.com) or contact your local post office for information on mail delivery in the United States.
- Visit the Canada Post website (canadapost.ca) or contact your local post office for information on mail delivery in Canada.

Remember to always follow proper hygiene practices and social distancing guidelines when interacting with mail carriers or receiving mail and packages.
