General Notification Regarding Covid19 Postage Delays
Is there any way you can display a general notice regarding expected delays for deliveries during the pandemic. International deliveries are taking up to 8 weeks to arrive due to fewer airplanes flying and border delays. It would be helpful if customers knew this before placing orders. Thanks

If in the event there is a problem with their order I use both PM and email. One way or the other, the notification is picked up and usually it's from email.
On Friday, USPS announced that due to the COVID-19 pandemic’s effect on transportation availability, some services will experience delays beginning April 17, 2020. Below is what you need to know.
• USPS Priority Mail Express: This service will not experience any delays at this time.
• USPS Priority Mail: Local 1-day delivery will not experience delays. However, the 2-3 day delivery window will now be extended to 3-4 days
• USPS First-Class Package Service: 2-3 day delivery windows will be extended to 3-4 day delivery windows.
USPS will still do its best to deliver packages as quickly as possible. Please check our COVID-19 updates page, which has the most recent delivery information, for up-to-date information on domestic and international shipments for all carriers.
All the best,

Seriously though, I'm finding deliveries from the UK to the USA are currently taking around 25 to 30 days and from the UK to AUSTRALIA around 30 to 35 days.

There are some countries in Europe that are no longer getting shipments via airmail but they are going via surface mail through the Netherlands. (It's about a dozen countries at the moment)
