Looks like USPS has temporarily stopped accepting parcels coming from China and Hong Kong.
More details here: USPS Service Alert
Anyone know how this will affect shipping? Will companies just route around it?

They’ll just reroute everything through Canada. My replacement drone was supposed to come from China, but it ended up shipping from Canada instead.
Don’t most of these packages come through DHL and other private carriers anyway?

Yeah, mostly DHL and UPS.

I think so, but I’m not 100% sure. Either way, this pause is going to make it harder to get certain things, especially drones, since a lot are getting stuck in customs right now.

I get the customs delay, but wouldn’t private carriers like DHL and FedEx not be affected since they don’t use USPS for delivery?
@Noelani
Damn, I have a Flip on the way and it’s coming through DHL. Now I’m nervous.
RIP Temu…

Not really, I just placed an order with Temu and AliExpress, and everything seems fine so far.

The suspension literally just started. Let’s see how things go in the next few weeks.
This isn’t really new. Most stuff from China doesn’t even go through USPS in the first place.
Feels like part of a bigger push to eventually privatize USPS.
“Drop shippers HATE this one simple trick!”
My Flip has been stuck at a UPS warehouse in Ontario, CA for over two weeks now. Had to call and give them my social for customs processing—nobody told me anything about that until I asked.
Still waiting for them to release it. The worst part? It’s SO close to being delivered. I just want to give my wife her present already.
