USPS stops shipping lithium batteries even in consumer goods

USPS stops shipping lithium batteries.

Will our management wait for a hull and crew lose before doing the right thing, or just keep on taking the $ for their bonus?

USPS to halt all shipments of iPads, Kindles to overseas troops, consumers

Whoopy doo. Di you know that our very own HK Postal service does not ship lithium batteries because it is "too dangerous", as per the HK government rules?

How do you like them apples? :eek:

They are not doing it out of the goodness of their hearts so don't think they are any different to CX.

The USPS set these new guidelines into place due to new restrictions created by*the*International Civil Aviation Organiza*tion and the Universal Postal Union. According to the new restrictions,*lithium*batteries are not being allowed on*international commercial air transportation, but will be allowed on non-commercial air transportation like cargo planes. Since the USPS utilizes*international commercial air transportation to ship packages overseas, they have to halt all shipments of*devices using*lithium*batteries. This doesn’t effect companies like UPS or FedEx as both companies have an*international*fleet of cargo planes to transport these packages.
