Yes, I found member's location useful to the conversations (unless someone entered something like the Moon).  That info is now hidden (for privacy reasons?), but if someone doesn't mind they can include their location as vague or as accurate as they want, in their signature.  Like I did.  It would be handy if others would follow.

Done

Another update from one of my suppliers in Australia: 

 

This is similar to what's happening in Canada now. 

We have to complete customs clearance on a third party app prior to hitting the post office to drop of a parcel. 

They need to know what the parcel contains, the value, and where the product was manufactured. Then they charge the appropriate tariff/duty/whatever and collect it. 

Then you get a QR that you present to the post office. 

Then you pay the post office.

 

Ugh.

There are several decal sheets I meant to buy from China and now I'm hesitant. They usually run less than $10 US each but I don't want to order something only to have it get held up or have a big fee tacked on.

For us Canadians, there's only one country that we have issues with shipping to.

Sadly, you are correct...
