Costco says it will return tariff refunds to members. Not as direct payments but indirectly.

With this morning's jobs report and revision, the US hasn't added any jobs since April of last year and is down from May of last year and I still see those who believe blaming it on everything but this administrations shitty policy decisions.

Midterms will be a bloodbath and they have convinced themselves that if they lose it's for every reason but them.

But Trump said the economy was on fire! You are clearly getting your info from the lamestream media who only report the bad stuff.

I honestly do not think they expect to have midterms at this point.

Yes, the economy is on fire, just not the way you would want it to be "on fire".

So I had backed a project on Backerkit a couple of years ago and it finally shipped. I received a notice from the company that it was shipping from overseas and UPS would be hitting us up for the tariff.

Got a bill in the mail from UPS today for $19.40 of tariff. Bill was dated March 2 and it's due March 13. They claim that they penalize at 10% if not paid by due date. They only provide a URL to pay online with no direct means of contacting them or paying by mail.

Considering that the item shipped and was received prior to the USSC ruling and the tariff invoice was generated by UPS after the USSC ruling, what would be my best method of contacting UPS to tell them that I'm not paying the illegal tariff?

Like, it's not my legal responsibility to pay them $$$ that has been declared illegal to collect and then try to get a refund, they've already paid Customs and I'd just be reimbursing them. THEY can try to get their money back from the feds, that's not my problem.

Trump wants China to make them a rare earth embargo, no?
