Important Information
What does "Modified Service" mean? When a carrier is under "Modified Service," they remain open, but operations are limited. This may include earlier cut-off times for pickups, reduced staff at local branches, or priority delivery being limited to Express shipments only.
Recommendation: We suggest processing your orders at least 2 hours before the usual cutoff on these dates to ensure they are picked up and scanned on time.
