Mail from Canada delayed

The Guyana Post Office Corporation is alerting the public that there have been delays in mail coming from Canada since these have been routed through Jamaica.

The Postal Administration in Canada has written advising the Guyana Post Office Corporation that it has been routing mail and packages through Jamaica since December 2010 as a consequence of measures put in place by the United States Transportation and Safety Administration (TSA). According to a statement from the GPOC, the Canadian Administration has  noted that there have been delays in the further conveyance of mail from Jamaica to Guyana.

The advisory from Canada Post states in part that “As a result of the US aviation security directive, mail from Canada sent to Central American, South American and Caribbean destinations has experienced delays.” It went on to note that they “are working with transportation providers to the best of their ability to maintain the level of service expected of them”
