Пытанне / Question Shipping from Minsk to the US

Hi there. I live in the US and bought something from a maker in Minsk. However, they just told me the the post office said there are new restrictions on sending packages to the United States - meaning they can't mail it anymore.

We're trying to figure something out. Does anyone know of a carrier in Minsk that will still ship packages to the US?

They did offer a refund, but I'd prefer the item.

Thanks!

This strange feeling when the restriction is not on shipments from Belarus but rather on shipments to the US. Verily the end of the world is nigh.

Carriers all over Europe stopped shipping to the U.S. because of uncertainty over tariffs:

Mind me asking how did you manage to pay for the product in the first place? Belarus is supposed to be under sanctions…

Well crap. We used webpay. I wonder if they could send the item to another country and then to the US? Honestly, no idea how all this works - thanks!

Nobody ships to the U.S. at this time. Thank Trump for the tariffs

You could send it for pickup in Canada, then pick it up if you are near the border

Honestly not a bad idea. I would just need to find a service that it could be delivered to.

no service needed. Just have it sent general delivery to the nearest post office. Or to a UPS store or to https://p.pudopoint.com/en/map#
