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.

TDS is just another way to blame others. Too bad people actually repeat such propoganda and give it life. 

Since Admin has seen fit to allow this CRAP to continue I just want to say to EVERY SINGLE DEMONcrat LOSER here,YOUR A BUNCH OF PEDOPHILE,RAPIST,DRUG SMUGGLING,MURDERER,ILLEGAL ALIEN,CORRUPT JUDGE,THIEVING POLITICIAN SUPPORTERS!

DT is the worst thing that has happened to America and democracy in my lifetime. I have eyes, ears and a mind to witness it. But what is far worse is the psychological operation campaign he has waged on the MAGA crowd. They have enabled him and as an effect of this..the demise of a great nation. It’s only a matter of time before America becomes a full blown oligarchy. His followers can’t see it.

During the next 4 years, there will be a major realignment of trading partners via various trade agreements.  New suppliers will be found to replace the U.S.   After substantial investment in infrastructure such as ports, trucking terminals, warehousing, etc.; former U.S. trading partners will not simply crawl back because there’s a new POTUS.  That isn’t going to happen.  They won’t trust the U.S. anymore as a good faith partner.

In the meantime, tens of thousands of jobs at U.S. ports, U.S. terminals, U.S. warehousing will vanish.  

Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, the largest hedgefund in the U.S. says that there is danger ahead.
