UPS

This from SRY Hailey about shipping-

### 2. Strict UPS Policy (Effective June 1st)

- UPS has imposed a penalty of 7,726 CNY (~$1,065 USD) per shipment for certain pharmaceutical/cosmetic products.

- As a result, most UPS account holders will no longer accept freeze-dried powders or high-risk items, severely limiting shipping options.

I saw this but I have no idea what it means. I guess they won’t be using UPS to ship now?

The screws are being slowly tightened all over the place.

I prefer UPS in my area since I can direct it to a nearby location for pick up. Fed X is absolutely awful in my area, with no pick up locations near me, oddly, and I live in a large city. I make orders based on shipping method bc FedX sucks so bad.

Thank goodness we love to hoard.

Sometimes it seems it would be easier to get a C-level corporate job and buy the brand names.

I don’t know either.

If it stops here, I don’t know if it’s a big deal. Does UPS even check package contents? My worry is that it’s the start of a trend.

I already hated UPS.

It is still unfortunate news. That’s part of it. Customs is also becoming stricter too from what I have seen. On the bright side, everything will still work out

I haven't seen this except here... I haven't looked either but this part:

Are they saying that the recipient is penalized? That seems highly unlikely.

I'm sure it is and big pharma is influencing it. First they're trying to make bac water difficult to acquire and now they're influencing shippers. Ridiculous.

You cannot ship a freakin' can of Coors to someone, I will not be surprised when stuff like peptides is also denied transport by all carriers.

I am really disappointed that the Mexican cartel is not getting GLPs from China. Distributing them in the US could really help their image problem. I could even drive down there and help out, in exchange for shrimp tacos and jalapeno margaritas. Crossing the border with a vehicle full of white powder would not be fun, but I would do it to help the TikTok community.

I’ll join you for company but only if we get some TJ Botox and tubes of tretinoin too

Battle of the lip service: UPS will try to create the illusion of pretending to demand compliance [no package-opening], and the Federal government will try failingly to create the illusion of increasing enforcement (while not increasing staff ... or for that matter the morale of their staff such that zeal for stupidity increases).

Status quo ahead.

Yay. This works for all parties involved. Print the article, publish the photo and get me my shite....

UPS account holder = the person shipping it via UPS

I'm a UPS account holder who ships and receives.

I am saying that they mean the shipper. They are fining the shipper.

You can be an account holder and neither ship or receive, technically.

Got it.

Our vendors haven't proven to be reliable news sources and Hailey might be incorrect. A Google search on this topic brings up long standing UPS Prohibited Items and this thread on the GLP-1 forum.

Just this thread, so I'm skeptical.
