Nonsense. People don’t want to pay. We had US customers refuse duties.
What really happened, the minimis has been removed, now everything has duties attached while before it was things over 800 dollars. No business is just going to “eat that cost”. It’s all being passed down. Express couriers will make it paid up front so most won’t notice it there… But cheap services? Customer has to pay it themselves. It’s all lack of understanding.
While the cheap service might be 10 dollars, you got to pay 50 dollars in duties in a weeks time. Vs say the 75 dollars express with duties baked in.
But US folk are kept in the dark about it. So they simply don’t understand how it works.
Unless UPS/DHL have been just pocketing our money, this money is being passed somewhere…
Its not part of my job HOW it’s paid, but it is figuring out HOW MUCH is being paid. And I can tell you, it is happening for these two couriers. Feel free to share your professional experience, if you have any.
