This is messed up.. mail stopped to USA

Bullcrap… nope it’s with UPS. There are tons of reports that UPS is screwing people with ambiguity in the changes and laws. Do a little research… pretty well known at this point. There are class action lawsuits being filed by the 1000’s.

Don’t make it political goodfballs. It just sucks and I’m just trying to warn others… that’s all.

And yes Dick.. you are correct.., I will not take it out on the delivery driver.. I love our dude. He always brings the pups a treat.

I told them not to deliver the package. And I sent Jaymic a message that if they got the package back they need not worry about and keep the money. Not their fault.

If I ran a shipping company, and had to implement a new tax collection regime without adequate notice, I would strongly consider large add on fees as I implemented the changes.

This serves several purposes. First, it recoups some of the costs of having to make an unplanned series of changes to both systems and procedures in a very compressed timeframe. Second, it reduces the volume of transactions subject to the changes as customers balk at the cost, easing the transition. And third, it encourages my customer base to actively oppose the changes.

This is not screwing customers, it is prudent business.

Well, it works fine for TSMC and Taiwan, so maybe it is time to reconsider our industrial axioms :).

TSMC and Taiwan’s Government: Two Boats on the Same Tide - Domino Theory

The simple answer is an alignment between the interests and constraints of TSMC and the Taiwanese government. The government was instrumental in TSMC’s founding. Since then, a mutual dependency has developed. While the Taiwanese government may feel some apprehension about TSMC’s current outbound...

tdgray, this goofball disagrees. The President has put the shipping companies in a bind. One day the tariffs on on, 15% no wait 50%. The next day they are gone. The next they are half.

BarneyT, I wish there had been an iota of sense, study, planning and review, "in which this whole policy?(my punctuation) had been applied."
 
I’m not saying that this is not asinine… it is.

I’m saying that the shipper needs to have a conduit for proper categorization. The only 200% tariff I am currently aware of is on aluminum. I could be wrong.

I have treed to get to the correct person at UPS but can only get customer service people that don’t have any clue as to where to send my inquiry. They have to be getting tons of calls.
 
td, probably another rabbit hole dead end but try 866.493.7140 Import Billing Support if that's what you are looking for.

i am currently watching Marie Antoinette on prime - its a reminder of what happens when the people in power squeeze everything out of everybody else - revolution, political executions and the people in power trying to seize more power. then there is trying to tax everyone to eliminate the state debt. we all know how that ends.
 
Perhaps the movie did not cover the part where Napoleon takes over under what historians call dictatorship by plebiscite, he becomes ruler of France and focuses on military conquests and war.
 
Keep in mind if you buy a product made in China, but shipped from Germany you will pay the Chinese tariff. 50%.
 
Here is my latest UPS Tariff bill.. 50% tariff from Germany.. All my stuff came in from Walloth at 50% tariff

Toolbox with $203.00 tariff.

Pretty much a huge ripoff....

Description of Goods Quantity Entered Value Tariff Rate Amount
9903.81.91 SUNVISOR HINGE COVER SET OUTER S 4 72.44 50.00% 36.00


BIG TOOLBOX UP TO 1973 WITHOUT TOOL 1 406.45 50.00% 203.50
 
Whoops- 52.50% tariff.

Too mucking fuch.

Don that is not hard to say that it is FRIGGIN ridiculous. 50% tariff, how do they figure that?

so i looked up the first item - the tariff is 25% of the value of the steel content - not the retail value of the product.

so that is really curious when you look at this - what is the steel content in engine compartment rubber???
