Shipping to affected areas?
To help avoid delays, we encourage you to contact your recipients to verify whether their location is open or able to receive deliveries before and after Mardi Gras celebrations. Shipments not delivered due to road closures and local restrictions will be secured in one of our facilities. Delivery will be attempted when roads have reopened and local restrictions have been lifted."
And speaking of service disruptions, parts of the south are rapidly becoming underwater ::sigh:: again, and roads are being closed and/or washed away. If you're dealing with a buyer or seller in Mississippi, Alabama and parts of Tennessee, be aware that they may have been evacuated, or may not have access to mail for a time.

We seem to be getting closer and closer to a situation where nobody is responsible for what they did but we are all responsible for what somebody else did. - Thomas Sowell
