Rovers fans in the States take note

[PDX_Rover]

If you order anything from the UK, you will be battered with Trump's f**king tariffs

I ordered some stuff from the club shop online and UPS are demanding this before they will deliver.

Total Due (USD):   $100.16

Import Charges
Government Charges:$47.16
Brokerage Charges:   $53.00

Almost as much as the f**king order itself.

The sooner the fat Kitson dies the better.

There's a potential niché opportunity!

I'll charge 10% and post out products!

Yeah but the tariffs are imposed once the merch arrives in the States. Either way, the end customer has to pony up a 50% tariff.

Who knew this is how tariffs work, eh Mark? All the MAGA pricks whooping in their trucks and polishing their ARs

Come on Rob, it's perfectly logical that all Donny Rovers merch should be designed and produced in the USA.
Makes perfect sense, good old Donald.

[Smyth]

You mean no special dispensation for  a tiny amount of export going to the US,  directly from UK by UK made products made in recent agreements by the Labour government?
What are those US citizens thinking of, end of the world

[PDX_Rover]

It's funny... Tariffs are economics 101 - the cost is always passed to the customer.

Over here Trump is bragging that his tariffs brought in $50bn, which of course is what the great US public paid in added cost of goods. Hard to believe he's that stupid that he really believes tariffs are paid by the country of origin.

It's the people who are paying these added charges believing tariffs are paid by the country of origin who are stupid.

It's the same for me ordering from the UK to me here in Ireland since Brexit. I buy vinyl online all the time but avoid the UK sellers now if I can get what I'm looking for from another EU country. We've always been charged customs on imports from the States too so nothing new there.

[Canadian Rover]

I was going to order a few shirts too (Canada) but the shipping price was crazy (not blaming Rovers for this). I'll wait until we are over later this year and bring back via luggage.

[les@donr]

Then you will be hit by luggage weight limits. We were charged $135 each way from Moncton to Toronto and back, especially Air Canada.

The customs duties we have to pay on receipt of goods purchased online and coming  from U.K. post-Brexit  are such that we no longer use U.K. sites for clothes .The British food market in Brussels suburbs is now the Irish shop !

Hopefully the new deal which the Labour Government has signed with the EU will help that problem Bri.

[Iberian Red]

Brexit has stopped me buying anything from the club shop. The last thing I bought was on sale at £12.50.
Postage £15.
Customs €17.!

Be careful Mark. I have a very good friend who is a professor, with tenure, at Harvard. Although the two things are not linked, he is very left wing and he is an Englishman from Milton Keynes. He married a super bright American girl  from Connecticut more than 20 years ago. They have 2 US born children. The younger is now part way through his undergraduate life. My friend is opinionated, vocal and very assertive. But it is blindingly obvious that, this last 6 months, he has decided to not put on paper, or any electronic medium, anything that might be seen as being even a teeny bit controversial in the eyes of the current US regime. It's obvious he wants to ensure his children finish their education and settle into adult life without upheaval and without him being deported. When he's next back over here I shall ask him for details, but it looks very much like he thinks all the online comms platforms are being monitored for "un American activities".... Given his ready access to a lot of the best, most well informed brains in the world, he certainly knows more than is generally understood in the world at large. He's ignored all of my Whatsapp questions and comments on the subject - which tbh, tells me all I need to know. I've taken his hint.

So be careful what you write and where you write it Mark. You will be more vulnerable  than most.

Don’t think Trump has put a tariff on f**king, but seeing he’s now been linked to Epstein he may just do that

[BobG]

There's been plenty of photos for years of those two cretins with arms  around each other. In 2017 Epstein called the orange fatty one of his best friends.

I've just had to buy a spare part from Greece for a long out of production motor car I cherish. Royal Mail emailed me this morning saying it's on its way and there's likely to be customs duty to pay. No idea yet though of how much.... Another 'benefit' from the bell ends who believed Farage and that slug Johnson.

Sorry. I'm not trying to be political. I'm expressing frustration at what has come to pass when it was all so very obvious and predictable.
