USPS temporarily suspends accepting packages from China and Hong Kong
The suspension of international parcels from China and Hong Kong is effective immediately, the USPS said.
Taking away cheap Chinese goods might be one of the few things that will wake a few Americans up?
I'd happily buy US made goods if they were comparable in quality and cost. I know the next response is "they cost more because the people making them are paid more" but I'm not paid enough to afford them.
Americans aren't going to wake up. They are gonna keep bowing down and eating shit.
It's really impressive how passive Americans have become.
Where are they going to put them all? There aren’t enough warehouses in all of LA. Return to sender… toss in the ocean?
Lots of tractor trailers that can't get unloaded is my guess.
Yeah except a lot of people use it for specific parts that go to different things
We can only hope. I'm open for anything at this point. $6/dozen eggs didn't do it, even thought most voted for Trump to do a grocery, which he hasn't done yet...
With zero explanation. You've got to love the transparency and accountability of this government.
Already changed. The chaos is the point.
And just for clarity: How much panic biting do you think this just produced?
The interesting thing is its just the same dude Trump appointed, who has been there for like 8 years now and not some random tehcnobros doing it.
Well there goes TEMU, ALIEXPRESS and SHEIN in one fell swoop
Isn't this just USPS? Or are they blocking DHL, FedEx, etc as well?
It should be just USPS as that is federally controlled, while all the others are not. This move goes towards weakening and sabotaging the USPS, because guess what it delivers that every other carrier does not, ballots.
Is Wish not a thing anymore?
Wish got replaced with Temu. AliExpress is like the Amazon of cheap chineseum stuff and has a better selection than all the rest.
If they’re clever, they’ll just ship items to a waystation in Mexico where they’ll be relabeled.
for the next 28.5 days, yes
I just ordered a replacement board for a 3d printer that someone donated to my school on Monday. It was accepted by USPS earlier today. Fucking Perfect...
I just had to double check where a replacement computer fan was coming from.
Turns out Japan, so I got lucky.
See this is the kinda thing Trump wants to take away.. You'll own nothing, and be happy
But muh Aliexpress.us!!!!!!
There goes my giant Gardevoir plushie!
They've already changed they're minds.
Hey what the FUCK my fishing gear!! T.T
It’ll be interesting when people can’t get their new iPhones.
Those aren't delivered to Apple by USPS. Same with Amazon, Walmart etc getting Chinese stuff by container ship to sell you at huge markups. What's stopped is you being able to get the same stuff online directly. You can't be allowed to bypass Trump-donor intermediaries like that!
iPhones go by UPS and FedEx.
Guh
F in chat for my ultrasonic cleaner ಥ_ಥ
Ha this is actually going to hit the fentanyl trade pretty hard
Nah, the US exports will be untouched in this regard... Now, if any other country will still want our fenty, who knows? At this point, fenty from the US would be like getting your fenty from a corner dealer anyways.
Afaik most fentanyl in the US is produced in the US with raw materials imported like that from China
