Airmail services have resumed to many countries (not just in Europe but worldwide), however this does not include “small packet” or “e-packet” parcels in most cases, only Parcel Post, letters, and postcards. Available Airmail methods are often on par cost wise with EMS for the size of package that is common for my shoppers, or the method doesn’t offer tracking and insurance. I will not ship via untraced methods and insurance is highly encouraged, so I usually won’t ship without some insurance unless the are absolutely no other options for the country in question.
