Postal Mail to New Zealand Stopped

Minister of Trade, Economy and Industry Kim Wilson advised that in the aftermath of the earthquake which hit Christchurch, New Zealand on 22 February, 2011, all postal deliveries to and from the city and its vicinity have been discontinued until further notice.

A spokesperson said: “Customers can therefore expect lengthy delays inbound and outbound mail to this jurisdiction. The Bermuda Post Office apologises for any inconvenience to the public as a result of the disruption in the New Zealand mail service.”

Australia’s “The Age” reports that: “The confirmed death toll from the Christchurch earthquake rose to 154 overnight and is still expected to reach more than 200. The city continues to be rocked by aftershocks, including one with a magnitude of 3.9 last night and another of 3.7 at 7.40am local time this morning.”
