Poczta Polska suspends operations with Guatemala

On Monday, the state-owned postal operator Poczta Polska suspended accepting packages with Guatemalan destination due to “significant operational problems” of the local operator. “Poczta Polska, like other operators, suspended the acceptance of parcels to Guatemala due to the inability of Guatemala Post Office to perform distribution and delivery services,” the Poczta Polska press office said. It was the Guatemalan side that asked other postal offices to suspend deliveries of packages. It filed a proper request to the International Postal Union. “There are very large backlogs in the development of incoming and outgoing mail, employment is an issue as well. We are waiting for a signal from Guatemala informing about the restoration of the provision of services,” Poczta Polska explained.
