I bought a knob from a seller from Lithuania in the past, OEM. I am looking to buy another for a total cost incl shipping of $113.00. According to my research and wonderful AI, I am subject to no fees whatsoever. Somehow I am not convinced. Opinions/experiences welcome. Thanks.

Nice stuff and fairly priced. Thanks Scott!
This original cost me $50 to ship and $50 in “tarrifs” from UPS. Agreed that under current laws I shouldn’t have had to pay anything. @sfdon and I were just chatting about this yesterday, and you’ve seen his Tarrif post in general I presume. UPS has a bunch of make-believe fees right now. They are facing multiple class action lawsuits…
Great business model- make your customers hate you....
best of all, his products are finished well. i bought one for my coupe and i have been working on a design or two to have him make ... then i can change them out every now and then
The latest from UPS making sure you don't dispute fees.....
