Isle of Man Post Office is committed to delivering, collecting and dispatching mail in a timely manner. However, when delays or disruptions to service occur, we aim to keep our valued customers as up to date as possible.
Royal Mail has informed us that Canada Post workers, represented by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW), have started national strike action. This means all Canada Post operations are shut down. The length of this strike is not yet known.
Canada Post will not accept new items into their network until the strike ends. They have also asked Royal Mail not to send any mail from the UK to Canada.
As a result, all mail services to Canada are suspended until further notice. From today, we cannot accept any items addressed to Canada.
Please do not send items to Canada while this suspension is in place. Any items we receive for Canada will be returned to sender.
Updates will be shared on this page.
Thank you for your understanding.
Services for sending goods to the United States have been suspended since Saturday 23rd August 2025, in anticipation of the removal of the ‘de-minimis’ postal exemption on Friday 29th August 2025. This exemption previously allowed goods valued under $800 to enter the USA without import duty.
We are continuing to work with our international partner, Royal Mail, to develop a solution that meets the new US customs requirements. We currently anticipate having this in place and being able to reinstate service in early October 2025.
Please note:
Letters and correspondence remain unaffected and can continue to be sent as usual.
Any goods sent during this suspension will be returned to sender.
Thank you for your patience while we work to restore this service. Further updates will be provided as soon as we have confirmation of a restart date.
