USPS has just introduced a $50 “misuse of hazmat labeling” fee with supporting context that could infer a much stronger parcel scanning process behind the scenes (since it’s presented as a ‘you wasted our time’ fee). I would hesitate to say that nobody will ever follow these instructions. More likely, someone scalper will take a sob story to the press after USPS makes an example out of them.

Anyone sending their 18 Pro Max to Apple’s central repair depot will, or they won’t get the label, it seems.

If the phone won’t boot, wonder if shipping is potentially illegal, and Apple would mandate driving it to a store?
