Typhoon Usagi swept across Hong Kong and Guangdong last night, killing 25 people and injuring at least four others.
Air travellers faced another day of chaos today as airlines struggled to clear a backlog of passengers at Chek Lap Kok airport.
By yesterday evening, hundreds of passengers were stranded at the airport after flights were cancelled or delayed. Yesterday, at least 370 flights were cancelled and 76 delayed.

Hong Kong Post handles 3.6 million pieces of mail a day, and contrary to what I saw a poster here claim, there are other business and sellers and buyers independent of FT who have been equally affected by all this.
and USPS takes 5 days to get packages from west coast to east coast, so collectively , transportation and shipping woes are not the blame of any one company
