We have seen a consistent 15 - 25% price increase on virtually all imported flooring goods. And a lot of flooring goods are not made here, because this isn't where you source the raw materials for many of these products.

So what's happening now is not only are all these contractors bidding for the same work at the lowest price, the bids themselves are being specced with the cheapest, just fucking garbage material possible, because budgets and margins still have to be met.

It's a race to the bottom.

Good thing those other countries pay the tariffs!

Whoever believed that line of garbage…

Ordered a piece of 3030 aluminum extrusion on 'Zon, about $70, 20 shipping. Fine, supposed to be about 2 weeks.

I gets an email from ups sayin I owes $47 tarrif!

Homie don't pay that especially after thinking that 'Zon should have mentioned it. I decide to do nothing, let it get sent back and apply for full refund afterwards.

A few days later I get another email saying the tariff has been paid($23) and my package has been released.

So the seller intended to pay the tariff, and included it in the price, but UPS decided to bill both of us for different amounts.

I got the package without further issues.
