A ton of small businesses get product from China. This will hurt

Does not say where something is shipped from
You can try to figure it out by how long it takes to be shipped to you
At least eBay tells you
Or if you order from someplace like Abe Books, they’ll tell you

Not so much about the states, but DeSantis & Abbott.

Amazon doesn’t say even that but
eBay & Abe books does
So often I try along with price choose location it used to be what could get her faster now I take location for different reasons

Ali Baba / Ali Express / Ebay / Amazon

I have stuff in transit, so wth

They seem to be exclusively from China

Sounds like packages posted in the last few days will be detained. Great.

Did they do the same to FEDEX and all the others?

I just found out one of my China-originated packages was returned from Customs to the shipper on the 26th of January. Sounds like this began a couple weeks ago. Maybe the system is swamped as everyone tries to beat the tariff?

or do they somehow benefit from this?

From China. Way below anything charged within the US. Our postal service needs that revenue.

The PRC pretends it's a separate entity. Separate currency, separate stamps, etc. Just wondering.

Their packages are bought directly by customers and in those cases (as opposed to purchases by retailers) anything under 800 lbs is not subject to inspection.

So the ingredients for making fentanyl are often coming through that way.

February 13 or so, workers may not be shipping beads and who knows what all, unless it is in a flat pack.

Orders placed in the last week, and not yet handled... oh the shock of it all.
