On August 10, 2026, a magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck western Colombia, with its epicenter near San José del Palmar in the Chocó department. The powerful earthquake caused widespread damage to buildings and critical infrastructure, with significant impacts reported in areas including Cali, Pereira and Chocó.

Damage to roads, airports, utilities and other transportation infrastructure, along with ongoing recovery operations and aftershocks, may disrupt postal and logistics networks. Customers shipping to Colombia should anticipate the possibility of mail and parcel delivery delays, particularly throughout western Colombia and other heavily affected areas. Service interruptions may continue as authorities assess damage and recovery efforts progress.
