    It’ll be more like hidden fees that you don’t see until you’re placing the order, I bet.

    Third richest man in the world with $215Bn can probably afford to pay for all of Amazon’s tariffs for years if he actually wanted to, but I doubt he will.

      Honestly, it doesn’t matter how rich he is personally or Amazon is, it would make zero sense to eat this cost as a business. These taxes are being added to the price they pay when they import them.

      I don’t exactly love Bezos or Amazon, but…I think the best recourse in this situation would be to do what they originally proposed, but then backed off of, because donvict is a gigantic whiny pussy - and that’s to give the customer all the information on just why it costs what it costs.
