Shipments from China and Hong Kong suspended

[keangkong]

I wondered how this was going to work and I guess the answer is that it isn't. I could be wrong, but I don't think the USPS is set up to broker customs charges (tariffs) like UPS FedEx etc. All these small Temu, AliExpress orders etc now have to collect customs before they can be delivered. There was always a small dollar exemption that went through post. The best thing everyone can do is complain to your congressperson. Particularly if it's a Republican congressperson who may have an ear to the President.

Our shipping costs are going to go through the roof if they have to switch to DHL/FedEx etc and they will probably cripple under the demand

Soon we’ll be placing orders through the same Chinese vendors, who will send the same items but they’ll pass through an intermediate country first, where they’ll be relabeled to hide the fact they came from China. Despite the supposed worry about fentanyl, these types of actions won’t stop us from getting peptides and definitely won’t stop the importation of fentanyl precursors. Even if we didn’t stop the importation of fentanyl precursors, most are then smuggled into Mexico. All of this is politics. With that said, I’m glad I have over a year and a half of tirz and a year and a half of Reta squirreled away.
