Aliexpress no longer an option


Anyone try to buy from Aliexpress recently?  I went in to pick up some copper banana connectors, added them to my cart to find out what our new tariffs look like.  $13.00 set of 4 bananas, $1.14 tax, $1.20 shipping and $23.40 customs fee!  That for a $13.00 item.  Trade war has arrived at our door.  Grrrrrrr….

Please reframe from the political debates/opinions I just wanted to inform USA audio shoppers what our China tariff reality is now.

The gon hifi crew probably has thicker wallets than the avg dude out there...not the right crowd for a proper assessment.

But, a vast chunk of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Watch the ClusterF when they hit their favorite Walmarts for all their necessities soon enough. Don’t feel bad for anyone though. They got what they wanted..

On a different note, the sum total of all Chinese exports to the US equates to the GDP of one mid-sized Chinese metro area probably. Do "THEY" need us more than we need "THEM"?....nope

Are all the BRICS+, partner nations and others going to rally behind them, dedollarize some more, whatever? probably...Hang on to your pants
