Half in the bag in the early afternoon, eh?

Don’t project — some of us are interesting sober.

I'm fairly certain you are referring to me, since I am the original poster and I was the one who emailed with you. Now, here is the text of my email to you (there were a few more, but this is the one I believe you are referring to). Kindly show where is the promise to "spoil scubagaskets name", or the request to "pay your taxes". And if you can't, kindly refrain from libel, and go back to making subpar products that don't fit their advertised purpose.

"If you, as a business, want to pass this additional cost on to the customer - it’s your call, a lot of businesses do that, but you should be upfront with the customer about it - by adding it to the order before the order is placed. I would not have placed that order had I known about that cost. I’m not subscribed to your social media or newsletters - why should I be? This is the first time ever I’m getting hit with something like this a week after placing an order online. Rest assured that I won’t be returning and neither will the people I know."

Wow, the original discussion had you paint yourself "entitled"....now your participation has unlocked achievement level "entitled arsehole".

You know what to do with yourself and the horse you rode in on, right?

Best of luck with your anthropological research, but yeah, C U Next Tuesday

This thread is astonishing. It’s like watching someone proudly demonstrate they peaked in middle school… while insisting they should be taken seriously Somehow, you’ve managed to combine total lack of self-awareness with enough keyboard effort to give your fingers repetitive strain injury — all for the noble cause of being ???????

There we are now then.
You go...you just unlocked the following achievement: "Immature Entitled Arsehole"!

It is amazing the heights one can ascend. Keep going!

I suggest the two of you get a room. Order some christo-lube and gaskets, or something.

The two of you have contributed a total of squat to this conversation, even the scubagaskets input was more substantial.

Good For You,

So let me get this straight — we’re the problem because we noticed you don’t know how international trade works? Tell you what, maybe check with your favourite orange economist; he seems to have all the answers… none of them correct, obviously

Good For You,

There is nothing further to contribute. You are.not looking for advice or opinion, as you have already received and rejected that...so it seems instead you are trolling for validation of your opinion and actions. You received a smidgen of that, but I guess not enough to satisfy your desire for it....hence why you come across entitled. When called out on this you regress to vulgarity, hence why you come across as immature. Your insistence on being correct and continually rejecting any notion that doesn't validate your opinion makes you seem like an aashore.

But none of that matters to you, because you apparently embody all 3 tropes.

Well...good luck with those import fees.

Happy bubbles.

There may be some confusion here; many non-US folks in this thread clearly dislike the recent US tariffs and those who proposed them. Fair enough; many US folks agree. But the problem is apparently that any negative statement about how those tariffs are handled by shippers gets turned into a referendum on the poster, with the apparent assumption that the poster must think the tariffs (and those who back them) are a good idea. Not so. I can't speak for Scuba-74, the OP, but I strongly dislike the tariffs, the reasoning behind them, and those who proposed them. So please take your politics to the Pub. My point is only that ScubaGaskets has done a poor job of explaining the final, delivered cost of their products; this should be done prior to purchase, not after a non-refundable purchase. Being in Cyprus has nothing to do with lack of a rather basic selling principle.

My friend, the OP message and the ensuing discussion is/because/due to/from/ US POLITICS. You can NOT escape it!! If it had nothing with the glorious US politics, we wouldn't have this conversation. In fact, we never did until the coming of Anti-Christ, I mean MAGA!!!
