Due to recent airspace closures across parts of the Middle East, several couriers have suspended flights to and from many countries in the area. As a direct result of these closures, couriers are experiencing delays with pickup and delivery services. Shipments moving to and from these countries may experience extended delays during this time. In addition, given current volatility in fuel prices, fuel surcharges and shipping rates may vary from week to week.

We are closely monitoring the situation and taking proactive steps to minimize any impact on your shipments. In the meantime, we have temporarily disabled storage fees for affected countries in case you prefer to wait before shipping your items.
