I fucking hate the tariffs on regular mail. Half the places I want to order from won't even ship to the US anymore, and the few that do look like this! $62 shipping???????? It's a singular ceramic mug. Maybe ways half a pound AT MOST.
At least they ship to the US. I usually find out that a shop only ships US and potentially Canada/Mexico. UK and Australia if you're lucky. A small country in Europe? Never heard of it. It's the worst when they ship to most of your neighbors but not you.
I can’t even imagine what it’s like for anyone in a small country like that.
I’m in Canada, and we get to deal with inflated shipping costs, currency exchange, customs fees, and that’s bad enough. It just irks me so much when Americans deal with this once and act like the world is ending
Yeah. Shipping costs to a country next door. Try across the ocean. I wanted an item from nekoyanin, who ships from the US. I wanted to buy the morbid palette, which is 486 CZK (rn 20€/23,4 USD). The shipping? 600 CZK (24,7€/28,9 USD). And that's just the shipping, not the tariffs.
I get it lmao. I fully agree you guys have it way worse than us. But honestly that isn’t too far from what we pay for shipping from the US. I was going to order a shirt a couple weeks ago and they wanted $45 CAD for shipping 😭
I think it could be seen as extremely infuriating because this isn't just about a mug. The tarrifs are affecting basically all imports, including electronics, vehicles, pharmaceuticals, building materials, and a million other things. I gotta side with OP; I am also extremely infuriated with the tarrifs and rising costs of every day items.
I read an article where a lot of these shipping costs aren't related to The tariffs at all but just a money grab by these companies and then blame it on the tarrifs🤔
Thank you, I understand the rest of the world also has to deal with shit like this, but that doesn't mean it isn't infuriating. From a relative perspective, imagine if shipping prices tripled for you because your country's leader cant play nice.
It's a vintage mug that was made in Sweden in the 70s. there are a handful of ones in the US for sale, but they are hella expensive compared to Europe.
US Mail lost a package sent to my sis in the states this year. I sent her brand new stuff. They probably kept it because they thought I was selling stuff to her (a baggie of hardware still had handwritten prices on it). If I’m sending anything to the states, it must be registered and insured. It costs more but it’s the only way to encourage the package actually gets delivered, unfortunately.

That looks like just shipping. Tariffs would hit after it reaches the US.
A lot of sites factor that in to the shipping, including this site
The solution is to move out to Denmark
Honestly if I were to get a few items from this store, it would be more economically viable to take a flight to Denmark and pick them up in person.
You’d still have to declare them and pay imports on your way back
Technically yes but if I put in my suitcase and don’t declare it what then?
The US has a nice place in Cuba for you then lol. nah all kidding aside nobody will really care if you only have a few with you.
$6 mug would definitely fall under the personal allowance lol
The fuck?
Why would you have to pay for something you bought for yourself?
And this is how they ended up taxing themselves with tariffs 😂
If you are bringing it back to the states yes you’re technically still importing it
I have actually flown to Norway to pick up a suitcase I had left there because it was cheaper than shipping it.
Americans finally dealing with the reality that everybody else worldwide has been dealing with since the start of e-commerce

This is extremely infuriating? I'd hate to see you go thru a real issue..
It's like people seriously can't tell the difference. Virtually every post on r/MildlyInfuriating belongs here and vice versa!

I know this is crazy to believe but something being infuriating is subjective to the person
I mean isn't it extremely infuriating that people have to pay such outrageous prices?
Uhh for somthing from out of the country that is also fragile.. I don't think so.. mildly if that
It isn't even that fragile, it's a chunky mug 💀
Should've mastered teleportation smh.
cries in New Zealand
Y'all don't even make it on the map half the time 🙏
The us had access to cheap junk quick while the rest of the world has to be pay these prices all along. Welcome to the club
Is it some specialty mug that can only come from Denmark?
It's a vintage mug that was made in Sweden in the 70s. there are a handful of ones in the US for sale, but they are hella expensive compared to Europe.
More expensive than the cost of ordering from overseas?
They would be weren’t it for the tariffs 😑
The cost of being #1 🎉 /s
Now we would like a photo of this mug or the link
😍
I kinda want to gatekeep this one lol, it's a sick as mug and if it's still available once shipping goes back to normal I'm gonna buy it
So buy one made in the US, assuming it can be found here.
It can't, it was a limited run in Sweden in 1974 so it really doesn't appear often in US markets.
