Delivery Empresas paralyzes operations on Kyushu
Yamato Transport has suspended counter services and collections in all areas of Kagoshima, Miyazaki and Kochi prefectures. The measure also reached the city of Saiki, in Oita. The strike began on Tuesday afternoon.
The company also stopped receiving cool orders for remote islands from Kagoshima. Funcionários from local agencies did not serve the public in person at many points.
- Kagoshima: total suspension of collections and deliveries in several locations
- Miyazaki: strike in cities like Nichinan and Kushima
- Kochi: Counter services stopped
- Oita: only affected in Saiki’s city
- Okinawa: accumulated delays in orders originating or ending in the region
Sagawa Express records delays and partial suspensions
Sagawa Express has temporarily halted pickups and deliveries in parts of Kagoshima and Miyazaki since 1 p.m. Outras areas face delays even without complete shutdown. Transport by ferry and planes also contributed to the problems.
Clientes with pre-orders scheduled for the next few days should expect updates. The company monitors the trajectory of the typhoon to decide on further measures.
Correios’s Japão accumulates delays of several days
Os Correios experience significant delays in mailings and Yu-Pack orders. The situation affects the entire city hall of Okinawa and parts of Kagoshima until the end of the afternoon. Muitas agencies suspended in-person service in both regions.
Dependendo of the typhoon’s future path, other locations may experience similar problems. The recommendation is to avoid non-urgent shipments to affected areas.
Typhoon No. 6 is heading towards the regions of Kinki, Tokai and Kanto. Previsões indicate that it should arrive on Wednesday, the 3rd. Especialistas monitor the volume of rain and strong winds that could worsen logistical problems.
Impacto should extend to air and rail transport
Companhias airlines have canceled hundreds of flights in recent days. Rotas to Okinawa and Kyushu were the most affected. Operadoras railways prepare contingency plans for possible interruptions on main lines.
Empresas recommend that customers check the status of their orders directly on the official websites. The normalization of services depends on the evolution of the weather over the next 48 hours.
