With the other money mentioned at the end it just comes across like a divorced parent bribing you with a trip to Toys R Us and a new video game system because they can't compete with the other parent on an emotional and intellectual connection. And you're not going to get that system.
I paid my first tariff duties last week. All my previous order have been handled by the stores, but this one went UPS. $59 shipping for a Hot Toy from HK plus $37.50 in customs (the store said tariff is 20% and they undervalue the item). UPS sent an email with a link to pay and took off about $12.00 for paying early. Speed was about DHL level, I ordered Tuesday night and received Friday morning.
A strong quarter at Build-A-Bear Workshop in a bounce back year for the retailer was overshadowed by the growing weight of tariffs in an ongoing trade war waged by President Donald Trump
I'm suing for pain and suffering over all of my Japanese figures stranded in private warehouses waiting for a shipping and tariff price that's somewhere close to reasonable.
