'Expect International Mail Delays Due To Heightened Security'

[momcqueen]

Ebay USA made an official announcement about this but ebay Canada has not followed suit. One could speculate it's because Canadian outbound mail will somehow be miraculously spared delay but I suspect it's because we've been overlooked completely. Sellers who use Tracked Services are safe but those who don't stand to gain few Late Shipment Stains on their record.

Although Royal Mail is not flying a flag on delay.https://personal.help.royalmail.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5311/~/service-update

Of interest to me is always how thorough Royal Mail is in describing postal problems as related to other countries. Cases in point: Canada and the USA. https://personal.help.royalmail.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5317/related/1

As I read it: this announcement is for those using the Global Shipping Program.

The GSP intake centre for the UK  might be close enough to Manchester to have delays.

It does not apply to Canada since we don't have GSP for sellers.

Oh, you're right. I somehow missed the part about it being Global Shipping Program-related even though it's right there, front and centre.
