Aliexpress no longer an option

Anyone try to buy from Aliexpress recently?  I went in to pick up some copper banana connectors, added them to my cart to find out what our new tariffs look like.  $13.00 set of 4 bananas, $1.14 tax, $1.20 shipping and $23.40 customs fee!  That for a $13.00 item.  Trade war has arrived at our door.  Grrrrrrr….

Please reframe from the political debates/opinions I just wanted to inform USA audio shoppers what our China tariff reality is now.

Lack of common sense

just tell me one lie out of the 100s of daily lies that it is isn't, that there is a way to see it semi-factual, prove me wrong. I am satisfied with ONE.

Equal trade with everyone is a crazy idea.  Its like a business saying I will not buy the things I need to run my business that I can’t produce myself from any other business that does not buy the same amount from me.   Or the other business saying the same.  It’s completely bonkers and so is any "businessman"  who should know better but apparently does not.

There are right and wrong ways to do everything.   Doing things of this magnitude wrong has tremendous consequences which is why a smart person would not do it the way it is being done.
