@charliee +1 ! Ha ha that’s good. FWIT I bought a pair of speakers 2 days ago from a manufacturer in Utah, there were zero tariffs. As a matter of fact they weren’t even taxed. There used to be another well regarded equipment manufacturer that lives between you and me, they just fled SoCal for Texas. We live in a state that can’t build a dam or fix a road. The firearms that I bought legally here in the 80’s , I can’t have here now and reside in Oregon with my Class III stuff that I can only own having a gun trust. My son in law is a fighter pilot in Lemoore and has access to Stinger missiles, but was denied purchase of a box of 12guage ammo at Sportsman’s Warehouse. I’m retired law enforcement with a background in prison and street gang intelligence and watch Ca’s supermajority put people in danger to glean voters. Then we get to hear “ Yoni Boy “ talk caustic KAKA and close with “ All the Best “. My wife retires in 3 weeks and she’s flying to Floribama the week after to visit our daughter and look around. The bright spot is she’s an educator and I’m retired Public Safety and our 2 state based tax payer funded pensions are about $250k per year. So we are going to move to a state with no state income tax to spend out our time sucking $250k tax free from California entail we expire. I registered to vote in 1975 and back then the Socially Enlightened Democrats actually represented people that had Union trade jobs. So I guess I can spew my poop and close with “ All the Best “.
Import duties are happening
Today I received a package from the Netherlands which was drop shipped to me. Custom duties needed to be paid. The UPS driver gave me the choice of writing a check made out to UPS or going on-line and paying which would have lead to the delivery happening tomorrow. Well since I am going to be gone for a few days wrote the check. I had no clue custom duties were in play and after calling the distributor… he was shocked at the notice of a custom duty. And immediately offered to reimburse. So no issue there. Now getting documentation from UPS required jumping through hoops and barking like a dog.
Caveat Emptor going forward.
