International postage

[goodthingsforsalerobert]

Posting to the US has just got harder, must weight each item before packing it. Today I tried  posted a necklace but I was sent away because I Didn,t have necklace weight only, open the package weigh the necklace repack and got it posted,was told more countries to follow suit.

Next I will be asked to stand on one leg and hop before an item will be accepted

Melina thinks a classier act than young Bernie would be a one legged man in a bum kicking contest!!

Completely agree.

THIS IS WORSE!!

I went to send my parcels today.  Every single one of them had to have my name and address, and the buyer's name and address, manually inputted by the counterperson, along with class of item (eg. gift), value and description.  Today I had only 3 parcels so it took several minutes just to do that.

A week and a half ago I had about 30 parcels going to the US.  So 30 x 1 or 2 minutes per parcel at the counter, that is insane.  The counterperson said it is one of Trump's increased security policies.

They said they are working on some kind of system to decrease workload and the time it takes but right now it's going to take a lot of extra time.  The counter workers need a payrise with all the extra work involved.

Edit: Regarding the weight, they weighed the whole parcel, not just what was inside it.  Wasn't a need to open it.

Another reason not to sell overseas.

My poster tubes are too small for people to fit inside.
