US Postal Service suspends incoming parcels from China and Hong Kong

6. I build scale models as a hobby. I very often buy things from hobby shops in Japan and Hong Kong

In fact, last night I just ordered three model kits from Lucky models in Hong Kong at fabulous prices because they're made there. They can get them cheaper than shops in the US can get them. Although I support us shops also to spread things around. But they had some brand new kits at half. The price I would have had to pay here and one kit on special for $9.99 that cost $38 here, everywhere.
So I happily ordered + should be here in 2 weeks but now.... I don't know if I'm ever going to see them.
Because where are they going to go? What's going to happen to them? If they put them in the post in Hong Kong they're gone. I'll never find out where they went.

What the f*** harm has an online hobby shop that just provides a fun and engaging pastime for lots and lots of people, especially kids who build Gundam kits, ever done to deserve this?
