what. the actual.

fuck la poste:

i need to send a sculptures parcel to the US. i struggled to get it packed but did, go me, and so i bought the postage. i used my usual tariff code which, i have confirmed, is still the valid US HTC code.

but la poste, in their INFINITE wisdom, have decided that my code, which they knew applied to original statuary a few weeks ago

now refers to

✨ Plastic container, food-grade ✨

and they have printed that on the customs form/registered it in the system as electronically transmissible info. and there's nothing i can do to change that. i can't send the parcel, i have to wait 7 days to get my money back on the label that i now can't use, and i have to write to the customer and try to explain this idek what situation.
