You failed to say it was SOME packages. Quit dooming.

lol, if you want to be pedantic the article says MOST packages, not some.

> Postal services in Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Italy said they will stop shipping most merchandise to the U.S. effective immediately. France and Austria will follow Monday, and the United Kingdom Tuesday.

> India's government also said the country will temporarily suspend postal deliveries to the United States starting Monday, except letters, documents and gift items of up to $100 in value

Stop defending policies created by someone who gives not one shit about anything that doesn’t benefit him personally, his ego, or both.

Stop being political and an arsehole in a platform that should be agnostic.

You were the one who made a comment of "no big deal, it's only some packages, stop being all doom and gloom".

It's not "only some" packages, it's most packages from many places, and all non-letter packages from others. Here's the non-political response, "Stop downplaying shit that is actually serious".

Having determined that my website provider, shop, use of UPS. Was in Australia, from my location, using a courier to randomly pick up parcels. Not sufficient to use. Then with a FEDEX just around the corner. I ended up being a Undocumented FEDEX Abstraction. The difficulties that web providers and such as Shopify, have in automating the postal legalise. Particularly with return goods because of time delays. And tax, makes for an interesting Rabbit hole of future prospects. Thankyou President of USA, grand daddy, Donald Trump for lining up my golf tee for me.
