We just got word that UPS is marking many parcels going into the U.S. as “For Destruction”. My wife has a hobby internet business selling specialty crafting supplies, and lately she’s had a high percentage of ‘never arrived’ stuff going on.

Apparently since the ‘de minimus’ basis line was eliminated they’re simply too swamped with paperwork to process them all. Have you guys heard anything?

An incompetent private company and a lazy government bureaucracy is never a good combination.

An incompetent trade policy sure as hell doesn't help.

Morons at the helm.

I guess for now she’ll just stop selling/shipping to the U.S. when it turns out she’s been offering refunds for stuff the UPS destroys.

Steve, it is ALWAYS someone else's fault, you should know that by now. It is UPS's fault. It is the bureaucracy's fault. It is the weather's fault. It is Big Pharm's fault. It is Canada's fault. It is God's fault. But you can rest assured it will never the fault of the Orange Messiah and his harebrained policies.

Recently I ordered something rather expensive to me on Amazon.

Turns out the product is made in Canada.

Then I got a call from the mfg and seller.

He told me I could save $100 by ordering it direct.

I never had that happen before.

Anyway, we talked and he explained and seemed legit. He said going through Amazon required some import/export hassle.

I don't know the details, but I ordered and paid directly, and cancelled the Amazon order.

The item arrived timely, no problems, and I did save $100.

Ordered two prototype circuit board types yesterday, tariff was a line item on the invoice.
Not a surprise. Shipping will be DHL like usual, we'll see how that goes.

Bullshit. The company importing the goods pay the IMPORT tariff. These companies then either absorb the cost and keep their prices stable- OR THEY RAISE THEIR PRICES AND INCREASE THE INFLATION RATE. Walmart, Amazon, Target have already started they will be passing their increased cost along to customers. Pretty simple really except for the intellectually challenged. cuckoo

Apparently, you are not the sharpest knife in the drawer. We are now paying some of the highest tariff rates in the world. These shenanigans have cost me tens of thousands of dollars so far this year(I hear you cheering Ane), all for doing business with a country that has a trade SURPLUS with us.

The shenanigans are taking place at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. as that bloated orange turd is destroying the country.

Kinda sounds the same as when the Dems want Corporations to pay "their fair share". Go ahead and tax the shit out of any company that produces something and see who pays for it. Put a shit ton of regulations on Corps. that cause their costs to go up, see who pays for it.

Trump is going it one better, taking a government-owned share in Intel.
This is government ownership of the "means of production", a phrase that should sound familiar.
Also like the mob, muscling in as your "new partner"...
