  This won’t stop it (had this decision not been reversed already).

  Temu (Odd holdings), SheIn, mearsk, etc, would all just continue to freight it over in Gaylord’s, and then pass it over to UPS or FedEx instead of USPS.

  The situation is more complicated than just rejecting packages.

    But this shouldn’t have been happening in the first place. Instead of sending their garbage in bulk and paying regular prices they’re packaging it smaller and exploiting a loophole

    I know it won’t stop shein, but anything that makes it cost a sustainable price is good.

      I don’t disagree
