"No reason to panic" - post from r/kratom

Post by whiffypants »

A new Reddit user, HW_Botanical, posted this to the main sub yesterday:

Hello guys, i'm from indonesia. and i want to tell you all about thousand package was still stuck in indonesia now. The only thing that has changed recently is that POS has been overloaded with kratom packages and have lost their contracts with the airlines they have used to get it here. This is largely due to the obvious increase in people on both sides partaking in buying and selling kratom. As of October 2, 2018, POS Indonesia stopped accepting new kratom shipments and thousands of packages from September have been stuck with no way to get to the US. Now onto some good news: I have received word that POS is currently working on getting all of the packages they've had sitting since prior to October 2, out and to their destinations. Pos Indonesia said We are dealing with a difficult situation but we will get through it, like we always do. And I'm confident POS Indonesia is working to figure things out on their end as well, because this is a huge part of our country's economy. Things will get back to normal.
Later in the discussion, he adds:
We all aren't want this problem. But what we can do, because this all happened due to the earth disaster. As of September 6, 2018, Strong earthquake in Japan,Hokkaido (most kratom shipment route from japan with ANA Airline), because Earthquake so package delay and overload. All kratom shipment move to China Airline. on September 15, Kratom Shipment Hold because Taipe Customs found something like illegal drugs so China Airline ask to Pos Indonesia to stop/delay kratom shipment for 1 week for investigation. and finally at October,1 China Airline not accept Kratom.
All this is in line with other things I have been hearing, and I think it's good news. It may take a while (and maybe some greasing of palms) but none of this seems permanent or insurmountable. I feel confident we'll be getting our kratom in again -- maybe not tomorrow, but fairly soon. :D
