USPS International disruptions has reported Sri Lanka Post has advised that the government has temporarily lifted the national lockdown, with effect from 1 October 2021. However, government imposed restrictions and guidelines will continue to have an impact on delivery standards for all categories of mail. Therefore, the Department of Posts is unable to guarantee compliance with the agreed delivery standards of all mail categories.
This means you can still mail from Sri Lanka Post but expect items to be delivered late.
How late I can't say. I just sniped 3 Christmas ornaments this weekend from SL with an expected delivery date well before Christmas but I honestly am not expecting them to arrive before Christmas. If they don't it's no biggie, I can use them next year.
The problem with late delivery is most buyers run and file a dispute the day after the expected delivery date. If my items are 4 weeks late then I will file a not received claim and leave the claim open for a couple of weeks before I escalate the claim. Slow shipping I can deal with. It's NO shipping that burns me a new one.
Anyway,,,,I would really love to give my SL seller their first feedback and have it be positive. They actually have been one of the extremely few sellers from Sri Lanka that didn't ask dumb questions, and they give accurate advice to people from SL that ask 'buyer can't pay questions.
