USA will be a much better place when all the chinese junk is gone.
no reason to subsidize a communist country
Don’t hold your breathe everyone. THIS ISN’T GOING TO HAPPEN.
Usps raises our international rates all the time yet stuff coming in is cheap as dirt.
I say the pros out weigh the cons. We are getting ripped off in the global shippinh market.
Make all countries pay what we pay domestically. End of story.
Millions, if not billions will be spent to spin this to look like it’s going to be a terrible mistake. If China has to pay their fair share, A LOT of people will not be happy, including US businesses. There is no reason to stay in something where you’re doing all the giving and they are doing all the taking. I hope he goes after that deal Amazon has with US Post too. The taxpayers are being hosed on both of these deals.
UPS and Fedex have to operate under the Law of Supply & Demand.
Why can’t the post office? One reason is it’s insane obligation on how to fund the workers’ pension plan.
I’m tired of always being on the losing end. USPS has raised its rates so high I can no longer ship internationally…its just not feasible. So, now I ship only within the US which puts a serious crimp in the amount of customers I get. It also puts a serious crimp on the size of paintings I can sell. Something needs to be done 🙁
