Heads up: Changes to Hong Kong Post regulations

[BlueyBirdy]

If you're buying from Taobao or a seller on eBay from Hong Kong then this applies to you.

From the link:

Recently the Hong Kong Post announced that all items posted by air are now subject to x-ray screening for regulated materials. This additional screening may cause delayed shipment due to no fault of the seller, so if you purchased an item from a seller in Hong Kong, please allow extra time for delivery - at least a week more than the seller’s stated delivery time.

They're only using the x-ray to screen for items that were restricted anyway (mainly liquids and obviously counterfeited items) so ponies should be safe. But if you've purchased something recently from Hong Kong this is something to keep in mind.

That is good to know...

But... ponies are counterfeit items if they are not in Hasbro shipping boxes...

Thanks for the info BlueyBird. I am always happy to see when Ebay keeps buyers and sellers informed.

Thanks for letting us know

It's understandable. Safety should always come first no matter what. I'm used to the long shipping times from Asia anyway
