SpaceCowboy Posted April 2 Posted April 2 Can anyone tell me what tariffs are on this toy (going to the US)? I see a lot of tempting prices, but frakking tariffs make it a pain to figure out what I'm going to be charged...is it 15%? 60%? I've already been bitten by unexpected tariff prices once on ebay, so I'm not wanting to pick this up for $130-$160 and then end up paying $300 by the time it arrives. If that's the case, I'll just wait for the US arrival. Quote
jenius Posted April 2 Posted April 2 Surprising, eBay usually includes the prices in shipping. Tariffs depend on the country of origin. If it's from Japan to the US it should be 15% but everyone is also adding handling charges now and the shipping companies are adding their own processing fees. So there are a bunch of variables that make it harder to know. The base shipping is also more expensive and only includes the fastest delivery methods generally. I was just complaining that anime export tried to charge me 19000 yen to ship a small toy. There are a lot of things I'm not buying right now because they would cost more to ship than buy... It's a bummer. Quote
SpaceCowboy Posted April 2 Posted April 2 Yeah, I'm in the same boat - sigh... the thing that got me on ebay was the processing paperwork. It was a relatively smallish purchase, and I calculated the tariffs correctly, but then there was an additional $25 "processing fee" because they had to _do_ the tariff paperwork. But yeah, lots of stuff I'm not buying now because of tariffs. We'll have a home grown toy industry in no time at all. Quote
Wewyllenium Posted April 3 Posted April 3 No real improvements. Seems like the pelvis ratchet is still loose. Fail. This is just sad. If only the pelvis ratchet would lock in properly. Quote
