Update: Mail and Courier Delays due to Eyjafjallajokull Ash
Apr 21st
Photo BurritoJustice
Ash from Eyjafjallajokull, the Iceland volcano that erupted this week, has caused airlines to cancel thousands of flights – this is not only affecting the movement of people, but it will also cause delays with mail and courier services to and from Europe.
International postal mail due to leave or enter Europe has also been affected by the closure of airspace-so a delay of mail leaving or entering Europe is likely at this time.
Most recent statement from UPS:
Air space remains closed in many countries in Europe because of the volcanic eruptions in Iceland, resulting in disruptions to all flights. However, over the weekend, UPS leveraged our outstanding European network to implement contingency plans which will result in the delivery on Monday, April 19, of the majority of intra-European express shipments that had been previously held last Thursday and Friday.
Air shipments in and out of Europe from other continents, such as North America and Asia, will continue to be affected by the volcanic ash and those shipments will experience delays.
To minimize those delays, UPS is utilizing airports that are still open in Europe and our ground network to get as many shipments to their final destinations as possible.
Finally, our intra-European Standard ground service is operating as usual and pick-ups for all UPS services will take place across Europe as usual today.
UPS continues to closely monitor the situation, which has the potential to change from one hour to the next, and we continue to make adjustments to our transportation network to best serve our customers.
UPS service guarantees do not apply when transportation networks are disrupted by extraordinary circumstances such as these.
Most recent statement from FedEx:
A volcano eruption in Iceland has filled the skies over Northern Europe with significant amounts of ash closing airspace over many European countries. FedEx Express® shipments to and from this area have been delayed. FedEx Express has begun limited flying to airports in Southern Europe in an effort to move shipments currently in our system. We are focused on prioritizing shipments on a “First In / First Out” basis. FedEx Express is asking customers who have shipments requiring special attention; i.e. temperature control, dry ice or perishables to hold those shipments until we resume a normal flight schedule. FedEx Express is utilizing trucking for its intra-Europe service, but customers should expect delays.
Additionally, because of the eruption, FedEx Express is not currently accepting shipments utilizing these services to Europe:
* FedEx International Express Freight® (IXF)
* FedEx International Economy® Freight
* FedEx International Airport-to-Airport℠
* FedEx International Premium®The situation remains very fluid and we are closely monitoring the airports. FedEx Express will resume scheduled flight operations as soon as possible. Additional information will be posted on fedex.com as it becomes available. Consistent with the provisions of the FedEx Service Guide, the FedEx Money-Back Guarantee does not apply to FedEx Express shipments affected by events of this nature that are beyond the control of FedEx.
We’ll keep you updated!

Happy New Year!
Our offices will be closed on Thursday, December 31 and Friday, January 1 in observance of New Year’s Day. We will reopen on Monday, January 4 at 9am.
There’s no better place to be than in New York for New Years! If you are in town for the weekend, NYC has a plethora of events to ring in the New Year! Here are a few of our favorites:
New Year’s Eve in Times Square:
Jam-packed with tourists from everywhere, and an occasional New Yorker that must experience this at least once in their lifetime, this event is the crown jewel of New Years events!
For 105 years, Times Square has been the center of worldwide attention on New Year’s Eve, ever since the owners of One Times Square began in 1904 to conduct rooftop celebrations to greet the New Year. The first Ball Lowering celebration occurred in 1907, and this tradition is now a universal symbol of welcoming the New Year. More history.
Scheduled events start at 430pm, culminating with a spectacular fireworks display.
At 11:59, the Times Square 2010 Special Guest and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg push the Waterford crystal button that signals the descent of the New Year’s Eve Ball, and lead the final sixty-second countdown to the New Year at the Nivea Countdown Stage.
The lighted Ball descends 70 feet in sixty seconds. The Ball is a geodesic sphere, twelve feet in diameter, weighing 11,875 pounds. The Ball is covered with 2688 Waterford crystal triangles and lit by 32,256 Philips Luxeon Rebel LEDs. For specific details on the Ball, with videos and pictures, click here.
At the stroke of Midnight, the lights on the New Year’s Eve Ball are turned off as the numerals of the New Year “2010” burst to life shining high above Times Square.
The world-famous New Year’s Eve confetti is released from the rooftops of buildings throughout Times Square creating a celebratory blizzard of colorful confetti as revelers welcome the New Year accompanied by colorful pyrotechnic effects.
For a detailed schedule of event, and updates, please visit source Times Square Alliance.
New Years Eve Cruise:
New Year’s Eve on the Harbor! Start 2010 with a bang and a front row seat to the Fireworks on the New York Harbor! Spend your evening on our magnificent yacht enjoying an open bar, hors d’œuvres, dancing and a champagne toast at midnight!

Our offices will be closed Thursday, December 24 and Friday, December 25 in observance of the Christmas Holiday. We will reopen on Monday, December 28 at 9am.
Christmas in New York is truly magical! If you are in town for the weekend, NYC has a plethora of events to celebrate the Holiday weekend! Here are a few of our favorites:
Irving Berlin’s White Christmas The Musical:
Broadway, Broadway, Broadway – our favorite Boulevard in Manhattan. The light, the singing, the dancing – the Great White Way! It’s a must see for anyone visiting the city and what better show to see than the epically classical Irving Berlin’s White Christmas showing through January 3 at the Marquis Theater.
Buy tickets online or contact the box office Box at (212) 382-0100. The box office hours are Monday – Saturday from 10:00am – 8:30pm and Sunday from 12:00pm – 6:00pm. There is a note online that “Promotions/Discounts are available over the phone and through the Box Office only.”
The Polar Express™ 4-D Experience at Madame Tussauds
The Polar Express™ 4-D Experience is back at Madame Tussauds New York, just in time for the holidays! This unique cinematic experience will enable you to smell the aroma of hot chocolate, feel the icy chill of snow brushing past your face, hear the roar of the locomotive and feel as though you are a passenger aboard the magical Polar Express as you follow the story of a young boy who takes an extraordinary train ride to the North Pole on Christmas Eve! It’s a full-sensory adventure that is perfect for the entire family. (Trailer)
Holiday hours are 10am to 10pm from Thursday, November 26-Saturday, January 2. Purchase your all access pass online, which includes general admission to Madame Tussauds NY, SCREAM, Polar Express, Madame Tussauds Story, and Behind the Scenes, to save up to 20%.
It’s a Wonderful Life
Frank Capra’s paean to small-town values and the ordinary guy takes place one bleak-looking Christmas Eve, as James Stewart wishes he’d never been born. A classic story of redemption and second chances, It’s a Wonderful Life became not just a perennial holiday favorite, but one of the most beloved of all American movies.
Experience it theater style from December 18-22 at the IFC Center on Sixth Avenue at West Third Street. For an extra special treat, Donna Reed’s daughter Mary Owen will appear in person at Friday and Saturday’s 7:00pm shows and Sunday’s 3:55pm. Purchase tickets online.
