Glad I'm in the USA and we haven't been hit by this.  I sell crafts on Etsy and all of the UK sellers are going nuts over this right now.
Their ability to send out products overseas via Royal Mail has basically halted.
They have the option to use more expensive carriers, but for orders that are pending the extra cost comes out of the seller's pocket/profits.
Some UK sellers have packages stuck in the system, and their customers are not happy about not getting their orders.
The internet, postal mail’s arch nemesis in more way than one.
