Aliexpress no longer an option now!
Yesterday at 15:31:38
 
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.

Yup, that's what a 145% (+ a bit more) tariff on Chinese goods looks like to a U.S. consumer.

If you poke around different sellers have various changes. Some have no longer ship to your selected country ( USA ) , some items have gigantic price increases on shipping or item itself and some have only a small % increase.

Some things will still be a decent value even with small increase in price but others not so much. I think there will be changes and adjusting for sellers until they figure it all out. Like is it worth it to keep selling to USA or anywhere, how long can we absorb some loss before waiving white flag etc

Im worried more about stores that havent updated info yet and get caught with unexpected extra costs after item has already shipped.
