You will have seen the news reports on the Japanese disaster this weekend so will just give you a quick update on services from our point of view rather than going into any detailed updates about specific cities and or prefectures.
The north and north eastern area of Japan is now completely inaccessible by road and with some local airports being severely damaged, services and communications to these regions are effectively suspended until further notice. We will continue to monitor this closely and will let you know as and when we can start making deliveries to the area again. Please note; any shipments we do receive for this region will be shipped and held locally until we are able to gain access to the area, which Customer Service will inform you about as and when the need arises.
On a more general note; we’ve been informed that clearances at Narita Airport (Tokyo) are likely to experience delays in the coming days. Whilst the infrastructure for Tokyo and almost all areas to the south of Japan is largely unaffected, we have been advised to expect clearance delays and will keep you advised about any specific shipments once we are advised by the agent.
