    USPS Banning International Shipments of Most Battery-Powered Gadgets May 16

    The U.S. Postal Service will refuse to ship devices containing lithium-ion batteries, such as cell phones, laptops, or e-readers to overseas addresses as of May 16, the USPS said.



    The restrictions will also ban those same devices from being shipped to APO, FPO, and DPO locations, the shorthand for overseas Army, Air Force, or Navy post offices, as well as diplomatic posts.
