MAFEX Marvel Figures

Got my first tariff sticker shock yesterday. I had been delaying most shipments from Japanese retailers due to the tariffs for months, but I finally shipped an order I had been adding to from AmiAmi that included Mafex Sony Venom, Mafex No Way Home Tom Holland Spidey, Figuarts Cyclops, Figuarts Yoda, and Figuarts ROTS Obi-Wan with a shipping cost of around $80 via DHL. But apparently that wasn't tariffs included which I didn't notice, so yesterday I got a separate tariff bill from DHL for $91. :oops:

Most of me wanted to decline, but most of that list is sold out so I felt compelled to comply. Would have been more from American retailers so it is what it is.

Yikes, that $171 for shipping and tariffs would've been $30 for shipping before Trump's taxes. And this is also on top of the rising prices.

I shipped three from AmiAmi from DHL. Now I'm expecting like a $50 tariff fee. I think I may switch back to ECMS shipping then. Takes forever, but these taxes are ridiculous.

To be completely fair that’s around $170 for 5 figures not one or two. That number feels to me like it’s still in the 20% tariff surcharge range. It’s not as grossly out of proportion as your thinking . It was way worse last year when my orders processed for the X-Men AoA Cyclops and Weapon X and the final shipping plus taxes were totaled up to $270 and that’s just for two figures. No extras, no preorders no crazy expensive shipping options

Why are we paying that again?

The worst thing we can do is say "it's only X..." It's a $91 working-class tax increase.
