Standard, Periodicals Mail acceptance suspended to storm areas

Standard, Periodicals Mail acceptance suspended to storm areas

The Postal Service also announced that, effective immediately, it is not accepting any Standard or Periodicals Mail — from any source — addressed for delivery within these three-digit ZIP Code ranges: 369, 393, 394, 395, 396, 700 and 701.

This emergency action has been taken as a result of severe facility damage, evacuations and other issues resulting from Hurricane Katrina.

USPS is now formulating plans to address the handling of Standard and Periodicals Mail already in the mailstream and addressed for delivery to these seven ZIP Code areas.
