Watch what happens when UPS or DHL sign up for UPU because USPS refuses to be a carrier ... :-DD Edit: actually this is going to be fun. Watch what happens when we end up with a thousand reciprocal agreements between countries. "I want to send a package to Elbonia - how much is it". Postmaster hauls out a 12 inch thick book of rates, looks one up, "that's $24". Whaaaa! Then it gets nicked on its way through Wakanda because that was the cheapest path for the sender :-DD. This planet needs to be less territorial. |

They negotiate fees based on cost rather than social justice (or in the case of China UPU fees perversion of social justice). |

On one assignment I was contacted by customs and asked for proof of payment for the goods. They do check up now and then. |

Or you'll just get the same stuff at a ramped up price, still fractionally below US manufactured stuff, drop shipped or imported by cartels. Don't get excited. Nothing will change :-// Here our postal service appears to be subsidised with unaddressed junk mail. Far more annoying. --- End quote --- They cannot do it without paying 25% tariffs. Today they don't pay tariff on shipments less than around $400, but if they ship in advance to the US to a warehouse, then they will have to pay the tariffs |
