rsvictor1976 Posted February 5 Posted February 5 (edited) So with the tariffs and the parcel freeze, can we still expect the VF~1S Roy this month? Also, how do you think this will affect Max and Miria Veritechs? I have a feeling we’re all gonna get notices soon that the preorder price just increased. Edited February 5 by rsvictor1976 Quote
jenius Posted February 5 Posted February 5 They ship with Fedex if you buy direct, is that impacted? Roy is on boats already for other stores. Quote

I've had my Roy for weeks now. Ordered through ShowZStore. [I didn't trust ShowZ at first just because I thought the name was weird. They've been aces with every one of my purchases thus far. YMMV.] Quote

I went with a US retailer this time as I was not in a rush and price was similar. Let us know how it is! Edited February 5 by Mechapilot77 Quote

Most of the tariffs were dropped, but there have been some odd things going on at the ports. I guess a couple of major smuggling rings were busted recently and inspections may be longer and more intense. Quote

I know they froze the tariffs to Mexico and Canada for like a month, but I haven't heard anything about China tariffs. I remember seeing the news about the smuggling ring bust in Long Beach.

If the tariffs go both ways, which do....then probably...it really depends on what is covered in the Chinese side of their tariffs... https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.foxbusiness.com/economy/china-responds-tariffs-us-goods-after-trumps-tariffs-chinese-imports-take-effect.amp The busts likely have nothing to do with the recent usps shenanigans....those busts were part of a months-long investigation from before all the tariff nonsense....

Yeah, but it they could easily put extra delays on receiving goods at the port. Some of the truckers where I work have been complaining about longer waits and boats waiting extra long for check ins at the docks. Quote

Some of the truckers where I work have been complaining about longer waits and boats waiting extra long for check ins at the docks. Doubtful there was any measurable impact for the average consumer...but I always order my stuff and have it shipped via EMS or some other express shipping....I guess to know if things have taken longer to receive we'd need to hear from folks here that go with the proverbial Chinese slow boat to determine if shipping via boat has been any slower to them as of the last year or so....from casual posts I have read on here folks seem to be receiving their stuff in the expected amount of time, some even said they had received their items quicker if you can believe that....so go figure...
