No, it's somewhere in between. They're not injecting at the local level, but they are sorting it (depending on the exact program).

- joe_the_user 7y agoThis is kind of ridiculous, USPS also sorts the packages they receive from individuals. It seems kind of clear that there's no special magic that packages coming from China are going to have that packages that are already in the US are not going to have. The USPS page I link to above specifically says that the USPS prices lower when companies do their work for them. That work is not going to be free.
- ikeboy 7y agoIt's not magic, it's just that the USPS doesn't have to do the work of sorting them. Labor costs in China are much cheaper than in the US, it stands to reason their cost of sorting there will be less than what the USPS implicitly charges for sorting here.
