Yep- I don't think everyone understands how tariffs work and who pays them.
Given I have all the destroids coming from KC, I'm not in a rush for them to send them while the tariffs are around. I'm already paying/paid on the SDF01 and a legios, so I'll be happy to not pay any more. Killing the de minimis exception is a real pain.
With my SDF-1, DHL hit me with the tariff. The tariff is the responsibility of the importer, not the retailer/shipper. Since we're the importers, we'll be responsible for paying it, not KC.
Was also in the Amazon cancelled my legios group, but I was able to find another one on ebay quickly for around retail. Shipping is $45 but that isn't bad with the de minimis tariff relief gone.
Wasn't sure bets place to put this but since I know a lot of folks ship UPS, this is definitely concerning.
tl;dr: The de minimis exception going away has lead to a backlog of customs clearing at UPS. About 10% of items shipping don't have enough information and if shipper doesn't get back to them, they have been destroying items.
