From the 1st of November Lithuanian Post (Lietuvos Paštas) is banning small parcels -- only two types of post remains -- letters with measurements of A4 piece of paper that is 2cm thick and weights up to 2kg and packages.
The elimination of small parcels will be a hard blow to anyone, that sends their goods in small quantities -- i.e. small businesses such as handmade jewelry craftsmen etc.
At the moment we are fighting for this change to be either suspended (notice the timing, just before Christmas shipping period) or banned altogether.
We are going to reporters and here is a link to one such interview (only Lithuanian):

All the pictures are taken by me unless mentioned otherwise. If you fancy a piece of soutache jewellery with any of the stones on my website or a piece of soutache jewellery in general -- send me a message or convo me on etsy.
