Canada Post Employees Back-To- Work Tonight

USPS To Begin Accepting Mail Destined For Canada Tomorrow 

Back-To-Work Legislation was passed by Canadian Government Sunday night.  Canadian Postal employees will be back on the job beginning tonight at 8:30 p.m.  The USPS will begin accepting mail for Canada, June 28th, 2011.   Mail being held in the USPS network since the lockout began is now being released and transported into Canada. 

Due to the large volumes of mail being held  by countries  around the globe during the lockout,  Canadain bound mail may experience slightly longer transit times.  We expect that to ease as delivery in Canada returns to normal.   We are continuing to work closely with the Canadian Postal Service to help minimize these delays as much as possible.
