Tried to order a part before the tariffs

Any news about your part Sir_Kevin? I'm curious if anything has happened since Trump already backpedaled a bit.

Honestly; I'm impressed they both messaged you and gave you options.

Usually you wouldn't find out until the mailman is demanding payment for the package he's holding hostage in front of you.

Tariffs? Oh right, import taxes. Fuck Trump.

Props to whoever this company is. This is one of the best bits of customer service I've seen in years.

It is inane that one of the options is "just hold on for a few days and see what happens" and that it is a viable option at all. Government is in shambles.

Hey, at least the company seems decent and understanding. I just hope stuff getting more expensive will change the minds of some Trump supporters that aren't completely braindead yet.

"Additionally, the $800 exemption for low-value goods has been removed."

I didn't even know such a thing existed, it's not something reported on the news.

So every product will be hit with the tariff raising prices, and not just expensive products getting the tariffs. Yikes!

After the November election we bought a fridge early we were mildly interested in that is manufactured in Mexico. It seemed conspiratorial to consider possible tariffs in the purchase equation considering decades of free trade with NAFTA and later USMCA.

Yet here we are and we're very glad we bought the multi-thousand dollar fridge pre-trump-tarrifs.

Good thing there isn't hundreds is miles of unprotected border to snuggle across.

C'mon, it writes itself.

Edit: OK, #trumptariffs. Don't try to drink and spell kids.

But this will make the cost of eggs go down!/s

This will definitely affect every American, every Canadian, and all citizens and residents of any country targeted by a trade war.

Hold off. Kraznov is getting so much shit he is going to walk it back, so he says. Can't trust him any more than a rabid bat though.

Trump is a Russian asset. America will fall within a year. Russia and China will expand their territories freely until Europe is ready to arm itself.

Does anyone actually know why we are putting tariffs on Canadian goods?

I cant wait until the European/Mexican/Chinese parts that I order from the USA that always arrive with a customs declaration of Origin:USA .. starts biting me in the ass because of their ignorance and Canadian Customs tries to hit me with Tariffs that shouldnt apply.

the better option is to just stop doing business with American shops. and thats what I've chosen, the USPS and Canadian Postal service are both such shitholes, that I have legitimatley recieved stuff from the UK, Poland and Denmark faster than I've recieved stuff fom Illinois and Iowa , in the orders I've made this year. For small things too.

I bought a bunch of electronics from China back in December. No regrets.

It’s exciting time for smugglers. Ever wanted to be one now is prime business hours. Go make Han Solo proud like my mother used to in iron curtain 80s

…so you ordered this in July when he announced the tariffs?

I got my Kobo eReader literally days ago, phew
