Chop your gifts into separate packages each weighing less than one pound. The recipient must reassemble the pieces.

I totally disagree with the new restrictions, however it doesn't appear impossible to ship over 453 grams.


It's not impossible to "ship" anything. It's air mail over 453 grams that is blocked. You can use surface mail, and mail whatever size thing you want. It can go in ships, trains, and trucks. Only airmail is affected.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1179200


Please read the link - very simply you cannot send Airmail by leaving it in your mailbox. It requires delivery to the local PO and providing information to some database about who you are, who you are shipping to, etc but not related to any monetary exchange...almost like having a FedEx or UPS account but being a private individual.

I think this is a case of (unfortunately) jump through hoops and you're ok.

Do you get the feeling they are trying to cut us off from the outside world? We can't even receive a book.

People something is seriously wrong here. It isn't terrorism. These are acts of dictators and paranoid freaks who are the real terrorists.

yup

So they restrict due to the last attempt. Too little too late is the motto here. Because the terrorists will move to new methods anyways. So these restrictions aren't stopping terrorism, they are creating domestic terrorism.

No packages over 1 lb accepted from international delivery to USA. because supposed "terror." Which is bs because if the bad guys want to get to you they will get to you, package or no packae, airport scanner or no scanner.

WTF its like soviet-union style restrictions. What are you people become over there?

Re: WTF I can't send packages to USA friend for christmas because "terror"
OP I'm glad to see you also see the similarities to the Soviet Union regarding what is happening to the US. Many Americans compare it to nazi Germany instead which is a bit off, but our media bombards us with tv shows and movies about nazis, but there is little mention of Stalin or Soviet Union in general.

I don't think it's coincidence as they want to keep the population ignorant about what is really happening here, and who is taking us over.

Oh it's much worse than we think...

"Cargo - with immediate effect, a full embargo is placed on shipments to US locations containing cargo fulfilling the following criteria;

1. Shipments described as "personal effects" or "household goods" either in the master air waybill, or in the house waybill, or in the manifest, or where the commodity information is determined to be missing or inaccurate."

BUT...it is supposed to be temporary. Last week I found the official document and it was supposed to end sometime in December. But I'll be damned if I can find it now. Maybe someone else will have better luck?
