    I'm just glad my craft beads showed up before this. It's not just Australia, it's a lot of countries, Japan, most of the EU, it's a lot. Those RPS orders are gonna be insane now, and forget the fact that our postal service is absolutely atrocious now when it comes to tracking and delivering on time. There's a whole subreddit of just people posting their tracking info showing packages go all around the country for days on end before they arrive a week late, assuming they're not lost along the way.

    Richard, they've also changed a lot of laws here. We can't receive or send seeds outside the European Union. Luckily, by putting the seeds in a plastic bag and wrapping them in three sheets of paper, they can cross the border!

    Even Correos de México won't send to the US anymore (for the moment).

    Iam sure there will be some serious problems from this happening to businesses sending to the US.

    Don't feel bad comrades, if I mail something out-of-town, it goes to a central sorting & distribution centre in Atlanta and gets sucked into a black hole. Tracking can't even find it. Forget overseas shipping from here.

    What's hilarious is I can get an envelope of seeds from Hawaii in 2-3 days vs sending something across the state takes a week.

    My mail from north sometimes goes 600 kms south past my place and back up north past my place again and then back south to my town!
