As a result of what is happening here are some other items to keep in mind.
1. Delivery Times
As a result of the Coronavirus pandemic and measures imposed by governments around the world some carriers report capacity constraints.For example, FedEx reports additional transit times for selected countries.
Recommended Action: You may want to add a note at checkout to inform your international customer that it may take a few extra days for shipments to be delivered due to the pandemic.
2. Carrier Rates
To date, shipping rates have been very stable, and at Letterlock we pride ourselves with providing you the best rates. That said, some carriers are starting to add surcharges to some international routes as their costs are increasing due to the sharp reduction in international commercial and cargo capacity. These surcharges are not specific to Letterlock but apply to all vendors.
3. Embargoes
Some governments have limited access to their countries or entirely closed their borders. In addition, international and local carriers are updating their delivery policies in light of the pandemic. Currently the following countries have forms of embargoes: Canada, Deutchse Post, England, Italy, France, Hong Kong, Japan, Australia, South Korea, Chile, etc If you have concerns check with our team.
