I can confirm that Aliexpress doesn't allow me to checkout with a USA address and states that items can't be shipped to my region. -edit: Since this post it seems that I can order items again? Very odd.

They can ship via UPS, FedEx, DHL, or shipping container. From the news...

It depends on the seller and shipment method. I just made a panic order of some stuff Choice and not-Choice and it went through.

Account says: 63 Shipped, 42 To Ship

Depends quite a bit on the item. Some items are actually shipped domestically, for instance, and can be sold out within the country.

Perhaps it’s now being sent not via USPS?

Cainiao (AliExpress's shipment arm) and others will probably end up chartering planes to get customs' cleared packages to the US and then cross-ship them from somewhere in the US like Kentucky or Long Beach. Shipping costs will rise but hopefully not by much.
