Dear Customers,
Thank you for your continue support to Gamebaz.com!
We are advised by post office that due to significant increase in mail traffic in recent weeks amid the Christmas season, and because of the reduced air flights after the global financial crisis that caused a substantial decrease in air cargo capacity, there will be noticeable delay in mailing service.
The attack of the financial tsunami in 2008 has encumbered the global economy and the flight industry. International flights have been significantly reduced. The reduced air cargo capacity cannot meet the needs for the 2009 Christmas season.
As a result, delays by one to two weeks have been caused to outbound air mail for a number of destinations, including US, Europe, Brazil, and Russia etc. since late October.
Customers using Air Mail, Registered Air Mail, or Air Parcel as shipment method will experience delay in mailing service. Customer using SpeedPost (EMS) may be affected as well.
We also enclose below the press release from Hong Kong Post Office for your information.
We would like to take this opportunity to apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced with our service.
Sincerely Yours,
For and on behalf of

Press Release from Hong Kong Post Office
Delay in Outbound Air Mail Service
Recent months have witnessed an upsurge of some 30% in outbound air mail compared to corresponding period last year. In addition, with the impact of global financial crisis, airlines have cut back on their flights. These have resulted in the overall supply of air cargo space lagging far behind demand. Hence delays by one to two weeks have been caused to outbound air mail for a number of destinations including Brazil, Russia, the US and Europe since late October.
Hongkong Post is most concerned about the situation. With our efforts to secure extra air cargo space from all possible sources and arrange chartered flights, as well as to liaise with other postal administrations to dispatch air mail via postal transfer, the situation regarding the conveyance of outbound air mail has noticeably improved. Presently the outbound air mail service may still experience a delay of three to five days, but hopefully will resume normal after Christmas.
