White House calls Amazon ‘hostile’ for reportedly planning to list tariff costs
(www.theguardian.com)
Bezos backing down while at the same time owning a newspaper is pretty pretty pretty shite.
Every single retailer needs to start displaying two prices on products. "Price w/o Tariff: $6.99 / Your Price: $18.99"
We could help with those “I did this” stickers - do a little homework ahead of time and calculate certain items X% lower. At this point it just needs to be reasonable; that side has no quarter to call US out for bending the truth.
Some great timing happened, my Prime membership auto renewal coincided with the inauguration and public display of facism - so I ceased all purchases and didn’t re-up for prime.
I’m doing my part!
Why anounce this? Just do it.
"free speech"
Never ever take fascists at their word, they're all bullshitting you always.
While it sounds like Amazon already capitulated, I'm guessing they'll switch gears when their customers start complaining about the rise in prices.
Amazon had already listed import and duty fee way before this. These fees are just now a lot larger and more "visible".
Tarrifs = Tax
The tax is paid by local business and then passed onto consumers in higher cost of goods.
FYI, generally when you buy items on Amazon and the goods are not locally stocked in Amazon's warehouse for same day delivery, Amazon acts like a broker for you helping facilitate the import of goods. The import fee is then passed onto you as the "importer" directly. Things that Amazon stocks locally but imported themselves will just increase in price and a label may not show the import fee paid for by amazon at the time they imported the product or item.
The import fee is then passed onto you as the “importer” directly.
Amazon has basically been a massive drop shipping scheme for the past five years or so. Basically everything is stuff that’s on AliExpress, just doubled in price and relisted on Amazon.
It’s not even a good place for books anymore.
But these tariff costs are going to be paid by China just like you promised, right Don ? RIGHT ????
Just like how Mexico paid for that wall the first time. Zzzzzz
Isn't customary in the US to publish the prices before taxes and then ar last moment add all the local and state taxes?
Yea
how dare you make people realize that tariffs hurt them and not companies!!!???111
