Yes, keep making enemies of the billionaires that got this administration into office and spent millions of dollars to do so. I'd very much love that for you.
Amazon .com denied a report on Tuesday that it planned to disclose the cost that U.S. tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump were adding to its products, after the White House blasted the initial story.
“The team that runs our ultra-low-cost Amazon Haul store considered the idea of listing import charges on certain products. This was never approved and is not going to happen,” said Tim Doyle, Amazon spokesperson.
They ought to be proud of labeling the tariffed products, so that customers could easier choose the domestic brands, which supposedly is the point of having the tariffs in the first place.
Attempting to hide it only shows that they realize how bad the tariffs really are.
How dare you try to hide that shit, drumpf you cancerous toad! If Amazon has any balls, which it doesn't and has proved so, it would not back down. I wanna know why my shit is more expensive and I wanna be able to point my fucking finger.
I would be pissed if they didn't. Getting surprised AFTER the purchase with an extra... whatever percentage Trump has settled on this week, would be absolutely infuriating.
Some great timing happened, my Prime membership auto renewal coincided with the inauguration and public display of facism - so I ceased all purchases and didn’t re-up for prime.
Amazon had already listed import and duty fee way before this. These fees are just now a lot larger and more "visible".
Tarrifs = Tax
The tax is paid by local business and then passed onto consumers in higher cost of goods.
FYI, generally when you buy items on Amazon and the goods are not locally stocked in Amazon's warehouse for same day delivery, Amazon acts like a broker for you helping facilitate the import of goods. The import fee is then passed onto you as the "importer" directly. Things that Amazon stocks locally but imported themselves will just increase in price and a label may not show the import fee paid for by amazon at the time they imported the product or item.
Bezos is to Trump as Trump is to Putin. IOW they each grovel and obey in the hopes their master will give even a slight positive acknowledgement, but it never happens.
