📦 The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) has pressed pause on accepting inbound packages from the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), effective February 4. The sudden move, announced on the USPS website, leaves online shoppers and businesses scrambling for answers—no reason was given for the suspension.
Letters and flat mail (like documents) will still be delivered, so your holiday cards or fan mail to your K-pop bias are safe! 🎉 But if you’re waiting on that late-night AliExpress haul or bulk orders from Shenzhen factories, you might need to explore alternatives like private couriers. 🚚💨
This decision could ripple through global e-commerce, particularly for small businesses relying on affordable cross-border shipping. Pro tip: Track your existing orders closely and check seller policies ASAP! ⏳
With Lunar New Year around the corner (Feb. 10 🧧), the timing raises eyebrows—will this impact festive gift exchanges or supply chains? Stay tuned as we follow updates. 🌐✨
