DHL to suspend global shipments of over $800 to US consumers

 

DHL Express, a division of Germany's Deutsche Post, said it would suspend global business-to-consumer shipments worth over $800 to individuals in the United States from April 21, as U.S. customs regulatory changes have lengthened clearance.

DHL blamed the halt on new U.S. customs rules which require formal entry processing on all shipments worth over $800. The minimum had been $2,500 until a change on April 5.

That came after Hongkong Post said last week it had suspended mail services for goods sent by sea to the United States, accusing the U.S. of "bullying" after Washington cancelled tariff-free trade provisions for packages from China and Hong Kong.

This is not about tax and duties, it is about they will not be delivered anymore, because of the games Trump is playing with his bullying

Again, my post was not about import duties, but I understand that maga cult members have a big issue with reading and comprehend, but that orders below 800$ will simply not be delivered anymore.

But I agree that everyone was lining their own pockets, starting with the US importers but specifically the US population which could get things on the cheap.

Well, Trump has brought an end to that, so from now on everything you order from Aliexpress or Temu will now be triple the price, thanks to your hero.

And now don't tell us you never ordered something from China

If you highlight a part of a post , THIS AN website shows : Quote selection

 

If that is against forum rules , why does it ask that ????

 

I only wanted to react to that sentence to highlight that the EU bullies us too with very high import /douane costs AND VAT.

Not as high as the US though. The choice of DHL NOT to deliver packages over 800 $ , is their decision. They should give the custommer 

a choice to get it delivered with the Trump tariffs or not delivering.

I try again, maybe try to read S L O W L Y, so you can try to engage brain.

 

Yes you can quote a selection, but the part should NOT be selected so it takes the post out of it's context. THAT is against forum rules.

Nowhere in the OP are import duties mentioned, and neither does DHL base their decision on the elevated tariffs.

 DHL base their decision not to deliver because Trump has made such a mess of the import that it is now such a lengthy process that DHL doesn't consider it worth their time anymore.

You realise that DHL is a business, and their time cost money.

Since the only people ordering shipments over $800 are Unbox Therapy and Marques Brownlee, how is this even news? It will affect precisely no one. When was the last time you ordered items over $800?

DHL is a private company and can do whatever it wants.  My guess is that this is more of a political temper tantrum than anything else. They're based in Germany, right? 

 

What about FedEx?  UPS?  The postal service?  Unless all modes of shipment to the USA are cancelled, what's the bug deal?  And most people don't have orders that big, in any event. 

[bkk6060]

Just send more packages under 800.

Most likely a business decision they don’t want to deal with the felons extra tax on us Americans.

With the loss of $15 Trillion from the stock market and utter devastation on 401K's and retirement portfolios, how many Americans have $800 to spend these days?

 

Maga's are having enough trouble finding the $79.99 to order new red hats from China.

 

"What difference, at this point, does it make?"

Agree ... only if you are dumb enough to sell when they are down, and you'll take a loss.

 

Most all come back up, after the market makers are done scamming the idiots.  If you don't know it's a scam, you shouldn't be in the markets, unless for long haul, buy & hold.

Interesting to note that it is thought the majority of those investing in 401K's tend to be right leaning, if not MAGA cult members.....sweet.

I'm loathe to agree with the other poster, but the loss is only real when you sell.......some people, it is true, might be forced to sell just now, which is going to be heartbreaking........but you only lose or gain when you sell.

Why didnt they sell last year at inflated prices?

If you step back and look at the bigger picture, you can't argue the fact that the stock market is up hugely over the past decade or so. Much of that was because of money flowing into the US markets from abroad, and from all the money the Fed poured into the banking system during that same period, some of which made its way into the stock and bond markets.  As a result, stock are massively overvalued and will at some point revert to a more normal level consistent with all the usual factors: Interest rates, investments from abroad, geopolitical considerations, and so on.  A correction would be entirely normal and should be expected.  And so far, that's what we've seen. A correction. 

 

Can things deteriorate from here? Absolutely, but even if stocks were cut in half, they would still be up massively over the last decade or so.  It's all normal market behavior and can hardly be blamed entirely on Trump.  

 

Unless some of you think current valuations are justified?  Maybe they are, considering there Fed put and the massive inflation and corresponding interest rate cuts we'll be seeing soon. These levels may someday seem cheap.  Of course, some day a Big Mac may cost $299.95 s the dollar is destroyed.
