They were already showing this information but it showed as expected tax. They'll likely continue doing that because they aren't going to eat those costs.
Yeah, they'll probably continue that. I think they were looking at just adding the tariffs to the price and having a notation for it as you're viewing the item. Now it'll still just be a surprise when you go to check out. Or they'll just increase all the prices and not tell anyone why...
IIRC that “Amazon Haul” deal is basically Bezos-Temu, so the recipient is going to get the brunt of the surcharge regardless of how it’s broken out (and either way Trump will blame Chy-Nah).
I’m just waiting for the WalMart shoppers to finally figure it out. That’s gonna be quite a day :)
I haven't bought anything from Amazon in months because of Bezos bending the knee for Trump but if this turns out to be true I gotta finally get rid of amazon prime
First off anyone with a "patriot" or "truth" in their handle.... ISN'T. Jeff Bezos isn't involved in the day to day at Amazon, he spends his time playing "Star Trek" and banging his plastic gal pal. That Amazon even announced it was considering it angered Donald J Führer so much he called Bezos
yeah, sure... 🙄 doesn't change how much spin and lack of truth is in your post. A pretty good timeline + factset was laid out in the reporting. King Orange called Bezos and Amazon made a retraction. A test of your "truth", tariffs are a lower/middle class tax, yes or no?
Trump calling Bezos to whine about it is what I would call predictable.
Maybe Amazon leaked that info on purpose to see how reactionary captain reaction pants would get.
You know, the “fuck around” part of FAFO.
And decided they’re not want to find out.
Was this a policy that was implemented?
No it was not.
Is discussing and implementing policy the same thing?
No it is not.
Was this an approved policy decision?
No it was not.
Would this ever be approved?
Now here im speculating, but I just don’t see it.
Maybe a nothingburger, but I personally would absolutely display the tariff charges on the main site, so any reality in which they are not is one where they are chickening out.
The question was asked by Doocy, who was probably told to ask the question SO THAT Trump would do exactly what he did. Call Bezos so it never actually happens (though it was definitely supposed to happen)! Nothing to see here. 🙉🙈
Why does Trump not want us to know about the effects of his tariffs? You'd think he'd be proud. After all, they're making America richer than ever, right?
They are freaking out about the Trump taxes raising prices (when they aren't emptying shelves), but they're still somehow in denial about it being a real issue as opposed to something they can bully and whine away through pliant media and WHCA hacks.
I think it would be great if every supermarket, clothing store etc does this on their prices. Even supplies that farmers use. Across the nation. Everything. Get some high schooler to make an app where you can look up a product and see how much the tariff was on it. Cmon people!
Lol these people are so fucking delusional it's scary. People are going to be aware that they're getting jacked by tariffs whether it's spelled out for them or not.
can’t tell if satire but divesting is really easy. every brand listed on amazon likely has their own site. shopping directly is often more affordable and will help them directly instead of giving a giant cut stolen by amazon. amazon has become a cesspool of AI-generated slop and stolen art anyway.
Amazon offers literally nothing that can't be replaced from other sources. Meanwhile, Bezos is using his Amazon profits to both directly and indirectly support an American dictator who is destroying America. Please reconsider your attachment to these things and find alternatives. I promise you can.
The one good thing Amazon could do. Unfortunately they'll bend the knee and not do it. No reason for other companies not to do it. Look at every gas pump, phone and cable bill, it lists all the taxes. Only problem is people could deduce what the actual cost was and see the huge markups
Wait, I thought "tariff" was a "big, beautiful word, the most beautiful of all words." Why would Trump be upset with Amazon pointing it out to their buyers???
Wouldn’t be surprised if Italian protesters showed up at his nuptials and demonstrated their appreciation for his role in dismantling the global economy
Probably going to have to give another Trump family member a "documentary deal" worth 10s of millions to make up for this transgression. I'm wondering who will be Trump's first Khodorkovsky once he's fully got all the levers of power pulled? Surely the oligarchs know they wont all survive his wrath.
Is the company going to eat the extra costs? Or try to disguise on the final price to the consumer? You know what's the worse: they really think we are all unintelligent.

Dear Leader doesn't like being displeased
I will never vote for censors of either party.
A few things:
- this wasn’t a thing.
- discussion and implementation are different things.
- would never be approved.
- never for the main site.
Can we maybe avoid being gaslit like this?
Amazon is a familiar old punching bag.
Makes me wonder what this nothingburger is shielding.
Anyone that doesn’t know the classic 2002 album Truthless Heroes from Project 86 does not get to editorialize about my handle.

Why would Amazon poke the bear?
I read the article and paraphrased it.
I get it, you want to fight.
And I’ll be your huckleberry if need be.
But I don’t really think you’re quite grasping or understanding what I’m saying.
Allow me to break it down.
Seems like unneeded smoke for a company that appeared to be in the good graces of this admin.
This sounds a lot like a leak from a meeting.
“Can we do what temu did?
No?
Not worth the headache?
Makes sense.”
Headache comes anyway.
They wouldn’t.
There’s absolutely no reason to.
Why would Trump want to use the ol’trusty punching bag called Amazon as a distraction.
Shitting on Amazon is a great way to get people to stop shitting on them.
Thanks for that.
Round about communications.
Private company wants more transparency. Man-baby cries about it. One of the biggest companies and wealthiest people in the world cowers.
What a joke.
All staged to intimidate Bezos.

See no tariffs - Speak no tariffs - Hear no tariffs
3rd world arrived on day 100
(a) tariffs increase prices
(b) they are not paid by Chy-na
So you'll never guess what happened next 🤷♂️
“our betters just want what’s best for US” they said
“what could POSSIBLY go wrong” they said
I can't quit them totally, because I have like seventeen Echoes, and the love I bear for my Kindle is almost of an unholy nature.
But I will be cutting back, cutting down, and cutting off WHEREVER POSSIBLE
If they were paid by Chinese - he would gloat!
