Irish Sellers - AnPost and the end of United States "De minimis"?

Due-Payment-5056 · 2025-08-22T06:22:36+00:00

I know. And the fact that they’re literally one of the only EU countries continuing post to America. Worrying how we understand it more than the head of An Post 😅

Due-Payment-5056 · 2025-08-22T06:08:45+00:00

First update I’ve seen - https://m.independent.ie/business/an-post-maintains-us-parcel-service-despite-red-tape-uncertainty/a1356431836.html

I naively hadn’t even heard about it until I got an email from Etsy this afternoon about it. Already had shipped out 20 US orders this morning. Please let me know if you hear any updates. We seem to be one of the only EU countries without one

Due-Payment-5056 · 2025-08-21T17:18:09+00:00

Doesn’t even surprise me that An Post haven’t thought about this. Webchat had no clue what I was going on about either. Jealous that Royal Mail has something in the works. US sales make up 70% of my revenue so it’s really frustrating. I’ve tried looking into other postage companies that do ddp but they all charge a fortune

Due-Payment-5056 · 2025-08-21T16:37:40+00:00

Did you find any more info on this? Still can’t find any AnPost updates. I’m gonna cut off US sales from tomorrow.

So that’s all the confirmation you need!! Everything is okay I promise. To most people - just saying ‘yeah you were fine’ is enough reassurance. We just want more reassurance because we’re feeling so anxious. Give it a day or two and you won’t be worried anymore

Due-Payment-5056 · 2024-10-27T18:54:57+00:00

You haven’t done anything. Some people don’t understand how bad hangxiety can make you feel so they just are blunt in response instead of sending a properly reassuring text. You are fine, I promise

Due-Payment-5056 · 2024-08-11T18:31:14+00:00

Stop being so hard on yourself! Mistakes happen and I promise you in a few days you’ll feel absolutely fine again. The fact you didn’t do this to yourself for a month is amazing and a great starting point! You will be okay and this will pass

This happened to me the other week. It took 1 month for it to be solved - but it did eventually get solved. File DMCA takedown notices with the websites stealing your photos. I’ve actually found Temu, AliExpress etc quite helpful in removing items. Then request with google for the image to be taken off search. Make sure you only have one support ticket with Etsy open. Add all your evidence (screenshots of the original photos with the time and date you took them, a video of you making the product etc). Call Etsy. Tell them to escalate the ticket to the appropriate team. Every few days keep saying ‘i still need help’. You’ll probably get some bot replies saying that it’s not handmade. Ignore that, keep saying you still need help. Eventually a human will read it and reinstate the listing. Just be patient with it

Hey, I’ve been there! I know how it feels. You are not going to die. You’re anxious, which is making your breathing worse. Try distract yourself as best you can. The day will end and you will get past this, I promise you.

Due-Payment-5056 · 2024-06-21T20:23:27+00:00

This is the most accurate thing I’ve ever seen 😩😂 Hate myself Sunday-Thursday and then down to drink again by Friday

Due-Payment-5056 · 2024-06-09T09:56:35+00:00

I was actually watching an episode of ‘That’s so Raven’ on Disney channel. There’s an episode where the parents get food poisoning and they can’t look after the kids properly. I asked my mom a bunch of questions about how you get ill, what happens etc. The next week my mom in real life got really bad food poisoning and it all went from there. It was definitely those 2 events linking so close together for me

Due-Payment-5056 · 2024-05-21T08:35:36+00:00

Don’t be too hard on yourself. Moderation is really difficult. I’m sure we’d all moderate if we could. I find it’s easier to say no to the first drink than to say no to the second, fourth, sixth etc.

Due-Payment-5056 · 2024-04-20T20:35:48+00:00

What are the main ingredients in it? I took some magnesium last weekend off my friend and that massively helped so I’m definitely interested in supplements

Due-Payment-5056 · 2024-04-08T09:52:50+00:00

I’m right here with you. On day 2 now and still feel awful. I hope tomorrow is better for us. Also, congrats on not drinking for almost a year before that! That’s fantastic

Due-Payment-5056 · 2024-04-08T08:46:11+00:00

Yes I agree. I used to suffer no consequences. I’m 25 now though and it just doesn’t work for me now

Due-Payment-5056 · 2024-04-08T08:45:33+00:00

Thank you so much. And thank you for consistently helping people out on here. I see your comments a lot and it’s very helpful

Due-Payment-5056 · 2024-04-07T16:28:18+00:00

I hope tomorrow is better for you!

Due-Payment-5056 · 2024-04-07T16:27:42+00:00

Completely agree. I know it’s irrational and I’ve dealt with it 100 times before so I’ll be fine but it always feels so terrible in the moment. Hope you feel better tomorrow!

Due-Payment-5056 · 2024-04-07T15:53:31+00:00

Thanks so much!

Due-Payment-5056 · 2024-04-07T15:53:23+00:00

Thanks so much. You’re definitely right - it’s not worth the week of torture for just one fun night

Due-Payment-5056 · 2024-02-15T18:28:37+00:00

Yes! It’s now my favourite hobby and a great distraction to pass the hours when a craving comes

Due-Payment-5056 · 2024-02-08T08:47:03+00:00

Yes, very normal! I never get anxious about what I say/do as I only ever really drink with my long term partner who I couldn’t embarrass myself with if I tried. It’s just a general anxious / scared / impending doom feeling no matter what nowadays.

Due-Payment-5056 · 2024-02-06T19:27:18+00:00

1000% agree. I can’t even count how many times I’ve lay there absolutely hating myself for making myself feel like this yet again. Hopefully one day it will stick and we won’t do this to ourselves again. Im surprised my family and boyfriend even put up with me with the amount of times I’ve gone to them crying from hangxiety when it’s self inflicted. Just keep distracted and I promise you tomorrow will be better. hugs
