In reply to the discussion: Tariffs on products at Costco. [View all]Totally Tunsie
(12,075 posts)61. There was a TV news item several days ago showing cargo building up in ports
because there are too many parcels and not enough agents to clear them through Customs. Many items are simply being destroyed because they won't clear and the shippers don't want them returned. Mind you, these are items that have already hit your credit cards for payment. Guess who's out of luck here and imagine the hassle with your credit card bank.
As a general rule, I'd avoid buying Christmas gifts that are being imported. They might never arrive.

Unfortunately, think tariffs will result in more hatred for foreign countries. And foreign countries will feel same

Good advice. "They" also say that if you about to move to a new area, get some honey to precondition your system.

I would like to buy honey but am somewhat confused about what kind to buy. They have so many choices!
