A major winter storm has temporarily suspended international mail operations at JFK Airport, causing delays to all USPS letter and parcel shipments in the affected U.S. regions.
Due to a severe winter storm impacting the New York region since February 23, 2026, international mail operations at John F. Kennedy International Airport have been temporarily suspended.
The storm is causing heavy snow, freezing rain, sleet, and extreme cold, leading to widespread flight cancellations, airport service interruptions, and power outages. As a result, the United States Postal Service (USPS) is currently unable to guarantee timely processing and delivery of shipments.
This affects both domestic and international services, including letter-post, parcel-post, and EMS shipments. Packages routed through the New York area may experience delays.
USPS is actively working to minimize disruptions while prioritizing the safety of its employees. Operations will gradually resume as weather conditions improve and airport services return to normal.
We recommend keeping an eye on your shipment tracking updates and allowing extra transit time for parcels destined for the U.S.
