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.
