It is inane that one of the options is "just hold on for a few days and see what happens" and that it is a viable option at all. Government is in shambles.

#trumptarrifs

C'mon, it writes itself.

Edit: OK, #trumptariffs. Don't try to drink and spell kids.

From the covfefe guy I wouldn’t be surprised if he misspelled himself.

Naw...

#TardisTrump

Send him back to the 40's where he belongs. Preferably to the front lines of Leningrad in 1941. Let's see how much he likes Russians and fascists then...

It writes itself? Is that why it has a spelling error?

Good thing there isn't hundreds is miles of unprotected border to snuggle across.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Question: what would happen if lots of people swarmed right next to the border without actually crossing?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

We'd have to snuggle with our fellow Americans. That would be weird.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Hmmm… sounds like I need to be spending more time at the border. Question: do we get to choose who we snuggle with or is it like a first come first served situation

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago

You get to pick, but of course it needs to be consensual. But Canadians are very friendly and free with their hugs.

Quite a bit. With increasing prices in the US, lots of people sneak up north with snuggling in mind. You do need to be careful at the official border crossings though. Snuggling is generally frowned upon.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Its a little bit of sexy snuggling that could happen anywhere and any time!

Props to whoever this company is. This is one of the best bits of customer service I've seen in years.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (4 children)

I may don't know how the law works but I believe (at least in my country) if you agree on thr conditions you can't pull a Darth Vader and alter the conditions after signing/ordering and paying.

Now if there is a clause that states otherwise this may change.

But I agree, at least they are open and upfront with it.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 weeks ago

Doesn't matter on their end. If they wanted to they could ship it and let it get held up by customs with a demand to pay the tariff to release it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

The doctrine is called force majeure. Most contracts have a force majeure clause.

If an external factor makes a contract impossible as agreed, the contract can be made void under force majeure. This is very common, and suddenly applied tariffs would likely be covered by a force majeure clause because neither party were responsible for them.

They are not changing anything. They are warning the customer import charges wil incur if the purchase proceeds. They gain nothing and stand to lose a sale.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Import duties are not always part of the agreement.

They didn't change the rules, there is now a charge by the government on it getting delivered, not by the company.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I would change "not always" to "practically never". Every e-commerce site I have ever used warns you that you are responsible for import duties if shipped internationally.

Solid boundaries, clearly communicated. Giving the customer a choice without hurting their own bottom line. I agree. Excellent handling of the situation.
