TL;DR I didn't make it in time. Fuck you Trump!
Edit: For those asking, this was https://www.irvwpc.com/ Please support them if you can.
Any news about your part Sir_Kevin? I'm curious if anything has happened since Trump already backpedaled a bit.
They actually got back with me and pointed me towards a US seller that they had shipped to before the tariffs went into effect. So I was able to buy it from them and dodge all that freedom we have at the border.
Honestly; I'm impressed they both messaged you and gave you options.
Usually you wouldn't find out until the mailman is demanding payment for the package he's holding hostage in front of you.
I was surprised too! I guess Canadians hold up to their reputation 🙂👍
Yeah, Canadians are good people. I like them a lot.
Canada has all sorts of people, like every other country. Canadian mining companies are awful in Mexico, negotiating draconian concessions from corrupt governments, which allows them to extract minerals very cheap while ignoring environmental laws.
I understand that corrupt politicians are to blame, but Canadian businessmen can be surprisingly impolite and exploitative.
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.
Looks like having the option was not that wrong with the partial exemptions that have already come in.
This is 100% because of Trump's flip flop ways. Fuck this guy and his MAGA cult.
There's only one thing businesses hate more than tariffs and that's uncertainty. They would be happier with the tariffs being definite, than this maybe existing and maybe not existing on a almost daily basis.
Because even if he gets rid of the tariffs, he'll try this again in a few weeks once he's forgotten about all of the push back and has randomly decided that Canada is still shipping drugs into the US. Because fentanyl can't be made in the US, everyone knows that.
Props to whoever this company is. This is one of the best bits of customer service I've seen in years.
Solid boundaries, clearly communicated. Giving the customer a choice without hurting their own bottom line. I agree. Excellent handling of the situation.
Tariffs? Oh right, import taxes. Fuck Trump.
And most of the media went right along with wording such as “tariffs on China” rather than than “tariffs on US buyers”
Ew......I don't even want to know what cheeto based sexual diseases you'd get from fucking trump.....
Hey, at least the company seems decent and understanding. I just hope stuff getting more expensive will change the minds of some Trump supporters that aren't completely braindead yet.
Both of them?
All the business owners voted trump and now they’re crying about free trade 😂
I hope they all fucking starve. I mean it won't happen but I can dream.
"Additionally, the $800 exemption for low-value goods has been removed."
I didn't even know such a thing existed, it's not something reported on the news.
So every product will be hit with the tariff raising prices, and not just expensive products getting the tariffs. Yikes!

This is what allowed Temu and Alibaba and Wish and the like to happen (their business model was to send every single product as a single package worth under 800$, leading to enormous shipping times and waste etc., but they don't have to pay import taxes).
Wish the company name was included. They seem to have their shit together.
Me too. I'm on the right side of the border and would happily order from this company if they sell something I need.
Good thing there isn't hundreds is miles of unprotected border to snuggle across.
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
I hate to sound like I'm attacking OP, but unprotected border snuggles are a risky behavior. Please consider having protected border snuggles instead. It feels the exact same, I promise.
You get to pick, but of course it needs to be consensual. But Canadians are very friendly and free with their hugs.
After the November election we bought a fridge early we were mildly interested in that is manufactured in Mexico. It seemed conspiratorial to consider possible tariffs in the purchase equation considering decades of free trade with NAFTA and later USMCA.
Yet here we are and we're very glad we bought the multi-thousand dollar fridge pre-trump-tarrifs.
Yeah, my car shit the bed right before the election and I had to get a new one.
Looking back, I’m glad I got it when I did. It was manufactured in Mexico, like most cars in America. If my old car had lasted 6 more months, I might have ended up paying 25% more for what I’m driving now.
#trumptarrifs
C'mon, it writes itself.
Edit: OK, #trumptariffs. Don't try to drink and spell kids.
It writes itself? Is that why it has a spelling error?
Trump is a Russian asset. America will fall within a year. Russia and China will expand their territories freely until Europe is ready to arm itself.
It’s exciting time for smugglers. Ever wanted to be one now is prime business hours. Go make Han Solo proud like my mother used to in iron curtain 80s
Hold off. Kraznov is getting so much shit he is going to walk it back, so he says. Can't trust him any more than a rabid bat though.
I cant wait until the European/Mexican/Chinese parts that I order from the USA that always arrive with a customs declaration of Origin:USA .. starts biting me in the ass because of their ignorance and Canadian Customs tries to hit me with Tariffs that shouldnt apply.
the better option is to just stop doing business with American shops. and thats what I've chosen, the USPS and Canadian Postal service are both such shitholes, that I have legitimatley recieved stuff from the UK, Poland and Denmark faster than I've recieved stuff fom Illinois and Iowa , in the orders I've made this year. For small things too.
Any time an eligible item crosses the US / Canada border, a 25% tariff is applied. This is how the US does it, so this is what the Canadian government is copying.
This is terrible for auto manufacturing, where various parts cross the border multiple times between raw materials, loose parts, assembled parts and assembled vehicle. Every time those parts or materials cross either border, it gets tariffed 25%.
I believe if your item comes from the US, lands in another country, gets re-labeled and then enters Canada, it won't be tariffed, but don't quote me on that.
This will definitely affect every American, every Canadian, and all citizens and residents of any country targeted by a trade war.
