• Dear Value customers:

  Hello!

  Please take note of the following advice from respective postal administration :

  There are general strike all over the world, together with the severe weather, please be prepared for further flight disruptions as well as delays in parcel processing and delivery.

  Brazilian Customs strikes are still on going and through intermittent days of the week. Clearance processes can take longer than expected as availability of customs officials is impacted by the strike days. Please expect delays until service resumes to a normal level.

  Brazil Customs has been striking since the 7th of November 2017, still without an end date so far. Brazil Customs is on strike because the officers disagree with a new social security law instituted by the government, which prolongs the minimum time necessary for retirement. The day of each strike depends on the Customs office, but in general, most of them are partially working only on Monday and Friday. Brazilian Customs continues with its Tuesday to Thursday weekly strike. Clearances are being done on Monday and Fridays and it appears to be the way things will be for the foreseeable future. Delays are possible during times of strike action. The objective of this is to increase the time frame of the whole clearing process. In fact, strikes occur quite frequently in the region, so much so that the local media typically won’t even include strikes in their reports.

  Winter storm watches and warnings have been issued on March 12 for areas of Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Delaware, and Pennsylvania in anticipation of winter Storm Skylar. Disruption to power services, roadways, public transportation, and flight operations are likely to be expected. This will be the third winter storm to impact the region within a couple of weeks.

  Operations across northeast region, including in Rhode Island, Boston and New York metropolitan areas were severely impacted by winter storm Skylar. At least over 450 flights have been cancelled and severe delays have been reported across regional airports. Poor visibility has also caused vehicle accidents. Further flight cancellations are likely on March 14.

  Thanks for your always support!

  Best Regards,
