I always have sold a lot of postcards to Southern California. Should I wait to ship? What communities?

I googled San Diego post offices and here's what got
LOS ANGELES (AP)—Wind and fire and smoke did what snow and rain couldn't accomplish, disrupting mail delivery to hundreds of thousands of homes in Southern California's fire zones.
U.S. Postal Service spokesman Richard Maher said 25 post offices were closed Tuesday, mostly in San Diego and San Bernardino counties, where some of the worst of more than a dozen wildfires were centered. One post office in Lake Arrowhead's Green Valley area burned down.
In all, deliveries to 478,096 homes and businesses throughout Southern California were suspended.
Maher said officials were setting up alternative post offices where evacuees could pick up their mail.

I would e-mail your customers directly to see if the mail in their area is going through.
I did the same thing when Katrina hit and my customers were glad I did. I held onto a couple of orders until delivery started back up in those areas, which kept their items from getting lost.

I wouldn't worry about it. By the time it gets to SD, everything will be back in place. If not, It will take a few more days to deliver, but it would be in the first day's mail.
