Then let me advocate for USA Export Zones where USPS must provide the same rate as China for outgoing shipments .. oh, I'm sorry .. we already have Foreign Trade Zones .. which do absolutely nothing for the Direct to Consumer USA seller attempting to ship Internationally ..
What seems to get lost in translation on this Thread is the idea of a 4 OZ padded envelope shipment from the USA to China costing a US seller $14 and change vs a China seller apparently able to get that same 4 OZ delivered all the way to New York City for, apparently, cents .. that's the problem .. it's simple .. USPS is still doing the work .. and a small business USA seller is unable to tap into the Chinese Market in the way that they have tapped into ours because of the disparity ..
All I have ever advocated for is a Level Playing field ..
