    Isn’t this just USPS? Or are they blocking DHL, FedEx, etc as well?

      It should be just USPS as that is federally controlled, while all the others are not. This move goes towards weakening and sabotaging the USPS, because guess what it delivers that every other carrier does not, ballots.

      Every package I’ve gotten via DHL was fulfilled by USPS, though. Do they even have the infrastructure to handle their own deliveries?

        This will be a boon to UPS, DHL and FedEx as they will pick up the business. Wonder if there was a kick-back in the deal. Private subcontractors may spring up too.

          Lol. Its not that they can’t do it, they just won’t for current prices. There won’t be a boon unless people are willing to pay a shit load more for shipping.

        USPS does the last mile, so I guess if you use an alternative carrier it wouldn’t be stopped at the border and fulfilled as usual, unless USPS actively looks at the from address and blocks it and the handover as well.
