Shipping During the Covid-19 Situation.

Update from UPS regarding their operations and UPS store locations in USA:
"We’d like to reassure you that UPS operations and The UPS Store locations have been designated by the Governors’ offices in all 50 states as critical infrastructure, and we continue to pick up and deliver, even in restricted areas.
In these unpredictable times, you still have control of your package deliveries. With UPS My Choice, you can tell your UPS Driver where to leave your deliveries, redirect your deliveries to another address, and receive notifications on when to expect your deliveries from UPS.
If you have a delivery location preference already set for somewhere other than your home, you can update it at any time by logging in to your UPS My Choice account."

Due to the suspension of UPS hold for pick up at customer centre, we have reverted to DPD for our default UK shipping option for the time being as they have reported no restrictions to usual service. UPS are still operating throughout the UK and will still be available as an alternate option should it be preferable.

Thank you very much @EJS
UPS have now confirmed they are also doing the same…
Temporary Changes to Signature Required Packages
In the interest of employee and customer safety, consignees will temporarily not need to sign for signature required deliveries. Instead, our drivers will validate and write down the name of the consignee. When an adult signature is required by a shipper, our drivers will request to view a government-issued identification for proof of age upon delivery. -
i'm not sure if this counts as news or information but shipping to australia has been severely delayed. mine shows an estimate date of 2 weeks from today instead of the usual 3-4days normally.
