I should also point out that if China does retaliatory tariffs against USA, handheld prices will increase regardless of where you live. Most companies use components with US origin. We have many. - ThreadSky

DHL will add a ~$22 processing fee on top of customs % for USA shipments. 💀

No easy solutions for US folks, but any non-US orders should probably ship straight from China (or bulk ship to a friendly third country first, then breakdown and ship off to individual non-US countries from there).

Yikes. How will this affect our orders for those of us that selected DHL then? Will we be invoiced the difference? Also I know you guys just got back from vacation so I’m sure there’s a backlog but what’s the typical turn around time to hear from customer service?

Yeah I’ve got an OLED touch pre order that’s still being manufactured from what I was told by RR support that I chose DHL shipping on. I would rather switch it to another option if this is the case.

Same in spain, I bought a gamegar in japan for 30€ and I paid arround the same only in tax and processsing fees…

Try to avoid DHL, FEDEX and UPS and try always to go by regular mail (Correos)

kamencesc.com•24 days ago

I’m happy with FEDEX, their fees aren’t so high, correos has the same 20€ (and you can’t do card payment) of fees if you doesn’t do papers by your own, last time I paid +20€ for a 10€ in PCBs fron @oshpark.bsky.social, the solution is doing the IOSS by the seller during payment process.

Yes, always try to pay the VAT on the website you pay, I do it with Taki Mister Pi and have 0 issues.

Oh, nice, I tried to bought it but my bank blocked the transaction… idk why… 🤷🏼‍♂️
It’s fine to know that for next time! 🙂

they, too, charge a processing fee, even if you do the import paperwork online yourself. it's a bit cheaper, but you still pay it on top of whatever VAT and duties you owe

orioeriole.bsky.social•24 days ago

Yes, but if you have luck, can enter without fees. And if you do the paperwork by yourself, I think you only have to pay VAT.

My SUPER5 OLED has been in a “Shipping Partner Facility” with USPS awaiting the item since January 24. Is it going to get stuck?

macs75.bsky.social•23 days ago

Which chips or components are you referring to specifically? I thought the majority of them were made in China and Taiwan.

hipsofjw.bsky.social•24 days ago

So far the retaliatory tariffs from the CN side are far more targeted. I didn't see any electronics stuff. Mostly energy and ag equipment so far. That could change of course.

sandpest.bsky.social•24 days ago

Could you elaborate on what components you're referring to please? And do you think Chinese/HK companies might be able to source them from elsewhere?
