🚨 BREAKING PLEASE SHARE 🚨

I got an order for some soap the other day to Canada. I paid for the shipping, and now customer is being charged $40 CAD upon delivery for "Import fees".

I was unaware of this, and don't know if this is something new because of the Trump tariffs.

I only shipped him 4 bars of soap. This is insane. Canada is fucked.

I will still ship to Canada, if you just really want to, but wouldn't blame you one bit if you do not.

I JUST TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE IS AWARE SO YOU DON'T GET HIT WITH THIS UNAWARE WHEN ORDERING SOMETHING FROM USA.

PLEASE SHARE SO EVERYONE IS AWARE. 🙏

I was talking to an old client the other day. His business is import / export automation so folks don't have to pay all that money for a customs broker.

He was saying this tariff business is monkey wrenching an already dysfunctional process.

It's a disaster under the hood, believe me.

Yeah, I believe it. The thing that got me so hot was that I wasn't made aware that this would happen. The shipper, UPS, should have forewarned me before already expensive shipping cost were collected. I don't appreciate when my customers get taken advantage of. Makes my business look bad, and it's not fair to them.

Yeah I get it.

This system is so broken that it can't even give you that information until it hits the border.

Nobody can do business with a supply chain like that.

Exactly, especially for a small business. I don't have the resources to have someone calculate all the logistics.
