Express Mail Service suspended in areas damaged by
Hurricane Katrina

Due to the significant network disruption and catastrophic damage caused by Hurricane Katrina, the sale of Express Mail to the following ZIP Codes is suspended:

ZIP Code City/State

365-366 Mobile, AL.

369-393 Meridian, MS.

394 Hattiesburg, MS.

395 Gulfport, MS.

396 McComb, MS.

700-701 New Orleans, LA.

703 Houma, LA.

704 Mandeville, LA.


In addition, Express Mail sold between Aug. 26 and Aug.29 to these ZIP Codes are ineligible for refunds due to Domestic Mail Classification Schedule section 182.51(h), which allows the Postal Service to deny refunds for Express Mail delayed by an “act of God.”

The Postal Service will notify customers when the service suspension is lifted.
