If American wasn't run by as a Necrocapitalist Pluto/Klepto-cracy, USPS would be such a cool and useful public service. It think the Postal service gets such a bad rap because it's kneecapped at every opportunity and they people wonder why it sucks, thus justifying more privatization.

Man is travel to china gonna become impossible before I even get to go?
the headline thing in particular is funny because a lot (perhaps the majority) are coming on private carriers. Even the ones that are USPS-delivered are now often using middlemen logistics companies to get it into the US first and then hand off to USPS to avoid paying higher premiums for international shipping
But if it's immediately enforced on all carriers it will grind peoples online shopping treats (and essentials) to a halt which I can't imagine will go over super well
USPS doesn't have any airplanes. They contract out everything long-distance to 3rd party companies like UPS
This is no longer true afaik. USPS is now moving packages again but setting up an apparatus to tariff every single package lol
Ah. NVM the article updated itself lmfao
Chinese postal service suspends inbound parcels from France, Versailles....
Like. What the fuck is that headline?
Hong Kong is a semi-autonomous region of the country with a history of having a separate trade relationship with the west both before and after British rule.
It's not ridiculous to specify.
