Wait, is this the same DHL that delivers my parcels? Cos mine always arrive late and beaten up. Maybe that's why costs are up?

I should stop ordering from AliExpress? Got it.

Maybe if we stopped relying on China so much and actually diversified, we wouldn't be in this mess. Just a thought.
where? Everywhere's expensive. Even sending a letter to your mum costs an arm now.
My mate runs a small winery exporting to UK. He says the paperwork alone is killing him. Brexit on top of everything else. Poor bugger.
was their dumb idea. We didn't sign up for that. But yeah your mate has my sympathy.
