UPS

This from SRY Hailey about shipping-


### 2. Strict UPS Policy (Effective June 1st)


- UPS has imposed a penalty of 7,726 CNY (~$1,065 USD) per shipment for certain pharmaceutical/cosmetic products.


- As a result, most UPS account holders will no longer accept freeze-dried powders or high-risk items, severely limiting shipping options.

I saw this but I have no idea what it means. I guess they won’t be using UPS to ship now?

The screws are being slowly tightened all over the place.

I prefer UPS in my area since I can direct it to a nearby location for pick up. Fed X is absolutely awful in my area, with no pick up locations near me, oddly, and I live in a large city. I make orders based on shipping method bc FedX sucks so bad.🤦‍♀️

Thank goodness we love to hoard.

Sometimes it seems it would be easier to get a C-level corporate job and buy the brand names.

I don’t know either.

If it stops here, I don’t know if it’s a big deal. Does UPS even check package contents? My worry is that it’s the start of a trend.

I already hated UPS.

It is still unfortunate news. That’s part of it. Customs is also becoming stricter too from what I have seen. On the bright side, everything will still work out

I haven't seen this except here... I haven't looked either but this part:

Are they saying that the recipient is penalized? That seems highly unlikely.

I'm sure it is and big pharma is influencing it. First they're trying to make bac water difficult to acquire and now they're influencing shippers. Ridiculous.
