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.

I had lunch with Steve and Ray Leung of VAS yesterday.

They told me they cannot get parts, the sellers don't know, so they might charge a ridiculous price, or only charge $2.40 for some set screws and $120. for shipping, it is a mess.

Some scary stuff going on in your country since Trump took power. One of your Senators breaks it down.

Last one hundred days

Maybe we have entered The Twilight Zone and there is a cornfield out there somewhere with our name on it. 

It’s a good life, episode 73: Twilight Zone. 

See if you can recognize which character is Dromp and which are the GOP. 

BTW, he is already sending people to the “cornfield”. Hey MAGA crowd, be very careful what you wish for.
