Because the headline is kinda shit: they're no longer doing international shipments direct to consumer worth more than $1000, because US customs is making things so screwy.

That's S$1000 (Singapore dollars), to be clear, which is roughly $800 USD, as stated in the article.

What a weird choice for the headline to do what it did

Eh it makes sense because it's a Singaporean publication, so it's relative to their readers. Confusing for most others.

Are they tired of winning yet?

So much winning. Bigly even.

IIRC the plan is for the de minimus exemption to end on May 2nd. So we may see similar changes for sub-$800 shipments after that.

Can DHL find America anyway? They're not the one I heckled on the phone and compared their shipping speed to a laden Galapagos Tortoise, but given two hands and a map it's still iffy DHL could find their own ass inside of a week.
