They even started a few months ago, as I posted this morning. Great, now all international parcels will be delivered by Aramex where I live. 😞 I wonder if they will be able to handle the increase in parcels nationwide? Probably not...

I expect the ones 'in the know' will opt out at first and see how it goes for the masses

I would expect the same, but with the GSP many seller didn't even know they had been opted in, maybe because they didn't read the email announcing it or because it had landed in the spam folder. Well, at least it is cheaper than the GSP and they don't remove packaging, apparently. I received my parcel with the original bubble wrap a few months ago.
