SHIPPING (SAFE, PROFESSIONAL AND EXPERIANCED)

Dear POLISH POTTERY fans, Visitors and Followers of More4U and Poland Tailored Tours4U

Regarding my packing and shipping services and generally shipping operations from Poland and EU to the USA.

Unfortunately, there is one very recent news and update by the Polish Post Office ( Poczta Polska) and courier companies revealed just last Fri August 22nd – completely out of the blue! Perhaps you have already heard about it ( e.g. by https://www.wfsb.com/2025/08/23/european-postal-services-suspend-shipment-packages-us-over-import-tariffs/ https://www.npr.org/2025/08/23/nx-s1-5513936/dhl-parcel-tariffs or https://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/european-postal-services-suspend-shipment-packages-us-import-124912854 ). Due to the significant political turmoil between the government of the US and European Union caused by the tariff issue, most European post offices (including Poland’s) have currently suspended shipping any goods to the US soil, including "de minimis" rule, which allowed individual packages worth less than $800 to enter the U.S. duty-free. In Poland this regulation has been directly applied on Aug 25th and will stay active till further notice ( unknown date). All courier companies (FedEx, UPS etc.) followed the same way.

Once it is restarted ( sooner or later for sure it will happen!) , unfortunately we do not know if the international postal charges will remain the same or be increased. Also it is very unclear at this point, whether the US administration will or will not start applying tariffs on goods shipped to the States, despite they would be private properties (like your privately purchased pottery in Poland) worth less than $800. From the current messages sent by the US government, most likely some duties will be applied.

Please believe me that I am extremely surprised with this situation and equally frustrated! Noone here in Poland or Europe had been informed about this upcoming legislation and the administration on any side gave us, the local businesses, any notice to get ready for it, so we could inform our old and future clients about it.

Therefore, I cannot guarantee that future price list of my packing and shipping service will not be updated upon those future events and new policies. Unfortunately it is totally out of my control and all I can do about it is monitoring the progress of the situation and keep my clients updated.

I hope the postal and tariff conflict will not last long between the EU and US. It brings absolutely NO ADVANTAGE and NO BENEFITS to anyone! Both sides are only loosing on it.

Regardless the new factor of the postal blockade, I will obviously keep doing my job, pack the pottery goods as thorough as always and if any parcels are ready to be shipped, they will be sent ASAP once the restriction is lifted. Please know that in respect of my direct packing operation, the factor is not affecting me. Temporarily it is “only” affecting and blocking the shipping part of the service.

I hope you will show your understanding of the special circumstances. If you know any politicians or lobbyists who could reverse it back to normal, please use the connection to make it happen ( it may sound like a joke, but I am completely serious about it).

Please stay calm. I truly believe that the common sense will win over the issue and we will get back to normal soon.

Warm regards,

Jarek Fink

==============================================

I can take care of shipping all of your purchases to US, Canada, a European country, Asia, Australia and virtually any destination serviced by post offices. You just pass on your boxes/ bags to me, I unpack and repack it safely by using bubble wrap, carton covers, double boxing, stretch foil, regular and fragile packing tapes. All makes it very tight and safe. I do my best so everything comes intact and people appreciate it- check out the reviews (link FB https://www.facebook.com/More4Utours/reviews & TA https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g274795-d15104823-Reviews-More4U-Boleslawiec_Lower_Silesia_Province_Southern_Poland.html#REVIEWS and GoogleMaps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/9P1N1DbtKpo6UdgU9 ) ! I have successfully shipped 100's of boxes and 1000's of pottery pieces already. The cost depends of the final gross weight after repacking and destination. The maximum weight of 1 box is 20 kg/ 44 lb.

The cost of a small 7 lbs box is about $50, a 22 lbs box is approx. 118 USD and 44 lbs 195 USD (shipped with ECONOMIC mail, Priority AIR mail is about 60- 70% more expensive) .

Economic mail (by boat) normally takes about 2 months to be delivered from Poland to USA (depending on the location) and 3- 3,5 months to Canada.

PRIORITY Air mail takes about 2-4 weeks to USA and 4- 8 weeks to Canada.

Shipment within EU by DPD or GLS couriers (cheapest, fastest and safest) takes from 5 to 20 days (ish.)

Please note that 90% of the wrapping and packing materials used by me come from recycling! The service can be paid via PayPal or WISE Transfer , possibly in CASH but only an estimated minimum amount as a deposit (in PLN, USD, CAD, EU and some other currencies) .

You can leave your pottery for me at tManufaktura or Ceramika Artystyczna/ CA shop or possibly at your hotel if the staff agrees. We can also meet in person in the downtown or at my office if I am available around.
