Wow! So much going on in the latest USPS Postal Bulletin. Firstly, we just celebrated our first year (and second) Thanksgiving in our home! Hoping this finds you well and in good health!
- It looks like my PenPal letter to Canada will be waiting, given as of “… Nov. 29, international mail service to Canada is temporarily suspended, due to the strike of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers…” I have both links to Linn’s Stamp News article on it and the USPS Newsroom article below.
- There are over 15 different Christmas Pictorial Postmarks available for requesting for 2024. MUST SEE THESE!
- And the USPS Operation Santa is underway. It includes the key dates with including “Dec 9 Last Call for Writers…” and “Dec 16 Last Day to Ship”…
- Additionally, mailing deadlines for getting items there in time for Christmas;
“USPS Ground Advantage® Service Dec. 18
First-Class Mail® Service Dec. 18
Priority Mail® Service Dec. 19
Priority Mail Express® Service2 Dec. 21″
Hoping this finds you well and in good health! I continue to be grateful for our many blessings.
Anchors Aweigh,
Helen
