At the moment we can only offer shipping to the US via Fedex as the Mexican postal service has temporarily suspended their US service. Here's all the info I've been able to gather...
WHAT WE KNOW
⭐️ On August 29 new tariffs are imposed to all international packages entering the US and de minimis rule removed without exception, which allowed packages of a low declared value to enter the US tax free.
⭐️ Since August 23 the Mexican postal service has suspended shipments to the US, taking the same stance as most postal services around the world. There was no previous announcement here to prepare us for this suspension.
⭐️ The Mexican government finally made an official announcement on August 27 saying that they are currently in talks with the US government and that they will resume US shipping once the new requirements are clarified
⭐️ On August 29 the US appeals court ruled Trump's tariffs illegal, but this ruling will not take effect until October 14 so the US supreme court still has time to take the case and make a final decision...
WHAT WE DON'T KNOW
⭐️ There is no date for when we'll be able to ship to the US again. I'll keep inquiring at our local post office weekly and update you as soon as I can! My guess is that this should be resolved by the end of September at the latest, but this is just my unfounded speculation.
WHAT NOW?
⭐️ If you'd still like to place an order, let me know and we can send it to you via Fedex. Just keep in mind their service to the US starts at $50 USD and that there may be additional tariffs imposed by US customs that you'll have to pay once your package arrives.
⭐️ If your order is currently in transit, please keep track of it so you can be informed of whatever the USPS or customs may require from you to receive it!
⭐️ I have not cancelled any pending orders yet, so unless you ask me for an immediate refund, I'll hold on to them while we wait and see how this develops.
⭐️ For those of you waiting on your Alienation preorders, I'm thinking that if worse comes to worst I can figure out some arrangement with Floating World Comics so that they ship out your books from Portland, Oregon.
Let me know if you have any questions! Personally I remain optimistic that we should be able to ship to the US via regular mail again soon, so hang in there! Sending all of you in the US my best wishes ♡ –Inés
