@matrix all of amiami's shipping methods stopped shipping to the US because of tariffs. So it's not about how much, I just literally can't buy anything. Including my pre-ordered fumos
@matrix tbh I would be willing to accept them if the general populous saw benefits from them but absolutely nothing has changed and at that, things are only getting more expensive. Now I can't get my damn figures
@beardalaxy@matrix it's something that might end up being good in the long term but that's only if trump and whoever succeeds him sticks with them and companies start manufacturing here instead of bitching and whining but lol fat chance of all that
@beardalaxy@matrix essentially the process with these stores is buy the item via the forwarder (have them buy it) > they get it and you pay > ship it to your country
also you get forced to pay tariffs of course so shit's more expensive.
@PurpCat@matrix yeah i really only buy from ami ami or the figure manufacturers themselves when the option is available. never used a proxy server before, don't really want to.
