  • DMM Advisory Keeping You Informed About Classification and Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service
    July 2, 2021 DMM Advisory Keeping you informed about classification and mailing standards of the United States Postal Service UPDATE 184: International Mail Service Updates Related to COVID-19 On July 2, 2021, the Postal Service received notifications from various postal operators regarding changes in international mail services due to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). The following countries have provided updates to certain mail services: Mauritius UPDATE: Mauritius Post has advised that the Government of Mauritius has announced the easing of COVID-related restrictions as of July 1, 2021, subject to strict adherence to sanitary protocols and measures. On July 15, 2021, Mauritius will gradually open its international borders. However, COVID-19 continues to have a direct impact on international inbound and outbound mails to and from Mauritius. Therefore, the previously announced provisions and force majeure continue to apply for all inbound and outbound international letter-post, parcel-post and EMS items. New Zealand UPDATE: New Zealand Post has advised that the level-2 alert in the Wellington region has ended as of June 29, 2021. Panama UPDATE: Correos de Panama has advised that post offices, mail processing centers (domestic and international) and the air transhipment office at Tocúmen International Airport are operating under normal working hours and the biosafety measures established by the Ministry of Health of Panama (MINSA). Correos de Panamá confirms that it is able to continue to receive inbound mail destined for Panama. However, Correos de Panama is unable to guarantee service standards for inbound and outbound mail. As a result, force majeure with respect to quality of service for all categories of mail items will apply until further notice.

The first Correo Mayor de las Indias, Lorenzo Galíndez de Carvajal, was appointed in 1514. The Crown defined the routes between Spain and its American Colonies for the shipments of goods & supplies, including mail. The transportation of mail to and from Spain started in 1525 with the navíos de aviso that were later added to the fleets. In both México and Peru, Viceroy Enrique de Almanza set up organized mail services during the 1570s and 1580s. The first Correo Mayor de la Nueva España, Martin de Olivares, was appointed in 1579. In 1604, the Correo Mayor was auctioned for the first time in New Spain. 5 The first reference of a letter sent from San Salvador appears in a document from the Guatemalan Cabildo in 1530 We have recorded 22 XVI-Century letters originating from the present-day territory of El Salvador.

    Conferencia de IPC 2017 "Optimización de la red postal para el comercio electrónico" La Conferencia 2017 de IPC "Optimización de la red postal para el comercio electrónico" acogió a más de 20 directores generales de Correos de todo el mundo. Las alianzas con los principales operadores mundiales de comercio electrónico son clave para facilitar el comercio electrónico mundial. Bruselas, Bélgica, 25 Mayo 2017 - Los CEOs y altos ejecutivos de los principales operadores postales de América, Asia Pacífico y Europa se reunieron el 19 de mayo en Amsterdam para la Conferencia Anual de IPC. Holger Winklbauer, CEO de IPC, comentó sobre el tema de la conferencia de este año y la nueva configuración de la conferencia más centrada en el debate: "A pesar del rápido crecimiento del comercio electrónico, las ventas en línea representan sólo el 8,6% del comercio electrónico. Para que los Correos puedan desempeñar su papel en el panorama del comercio electrónico, tenemos que adaptarnos a las necesidades y expectativas de los minoristas electrónicos y de sus clientes que cambian rápidamente. Los participantes en nuestra conferencia apreciaron la oportunidad de intercambiar puntos de vista e ideas con altos ejecutivos de los principales minoristas electrónicos". Este año, los discursos de la conferencia y los debates exploraron las opciones que los Correos tienen de distribuir, de manera rentable, paquetes ligeros y de bajo valor, que representan la mayor parte del mercado de comercio electrónico transfronterizo. Los Correos examinaron los requisitos de entrega clave para los grandes minoristas electrónicos e insistieron en la necesidad de escuchar a los clientes e innovar.
