Australia Post has announced that they have been forced to stop accepting parcels bound for the US.
Why has this happened?
• US Customs have been inundated with a substantially increased workload that has caused significant delays because they don't have the infrastructure and processes in place to deal with the extra checks and collection of tariffs they have been forced to take on.
• The US Regime has then in a panic attempted to hide the fact that YOU pay tariffs by forcing all imported parcels to arrive with tariffs prepaid. This takes the tariff collection work away from US customs and instead puts it on carriers and small business. We are being forced to take the tariff from you and then pay the US government before your parcel arrives.
• The tariffs are their way of getting you to pay for billionaire tax cuts and handouts.
• Aus Post (and many other carriers) have never been forced to deal with this system before, so they don't have the infrastructure or systems, so they are having to try and get those (at great expense to the Australian taxpayer), but in the meantime as they are non-compliant, they have been forced to just not accept parcels.
• Aus Post is using a private service in the meantime, which increases the risk of a privatised postal service in the future. More expensive, worse service, so billionaires can get more money.
• While Aus Post gets ready, we are going to try and use a different private carrier, but until then, if you are in USA, you won't be able to order, consider saving your cart as a wishlist instead.
• This entire thing is a swindle and you and I are paying for it.
• If you aren't angry, then why not?
