Very few items bought from China come via the postal system: they're primarily moved by freight to USA fulfillment centers and then shipped domestically when orders come in.
So no, it won't make things more expensive for most consumers. There's a high likelihood that you've never received anything from China by mail.
- EpicEng 7y agoThat is just absolutely not true. First, go ahead and read the article. Next, order a few $1 items from AliExpress.
- matthewowen 7y agoI have ordered things from aliexpress. I've ordered orders of magnitude more stuff from Amazon. That's my point. A number doesn't have to be zero to be practically insignificant.
- EpicEng 7y agoYour point is that because Amazon is sells more stuff than AliExpress we should stay in a bad deal? Not sure I get that point.
- matthewowen 7y agoPlease point out where I said we should. I'll wait. I'm just saying that it won't have a large negative impact on consumers or overall trade volumes. If anything I'm defending. This is extremely tiresome.
