Here's the latest. As we reported this morning, postal operations are continuing throughout the nation. Despite the suspension of commercial air operations by the Federal Aviation Administration, mail continues to move on an expanded ground transportation network.
The question of sending mail to New York City has been raised by many of our customers. The short answer to this question? Most customers mailing to New York City should continue to do so, with no change to how they do it. Customers who have questions should contact their local account representatives or Business Service Network staff for more detailed information.

WASHINGTON D.C. - Postal employees across the country are continuing to maintain normal collection, processing and delivery operations following yesterday's tragic events in New York City and Washington, D.C.
"The best thing we can do for America right now is to keep the mail moving," said Postmaster General John E. Potter.
Mail continues to flow to its destinations and POST OFFICES throughout the country ARE OPEN to serve customers. The only exceptions are the portions of New York City most severely impacted by yesterday’s events.
Since nationwide air transportation was suspended by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), an expanded ground transportation network is moving mail. Once the FAA allows commercial flights to resume and carry mail, the Postal Service will use all existing means to keep the mail moving to the American people and businesses.
