The tariffs are just beginning to hit our house.

I received my 3rd bill from Fed Ex for import tariffs for stuff I bought for Christmas. Grandkids requested stuff from abroad. Who knew? The fees were more than the gifts. How can they do that????

Fedex gets a rebate and customers get rebated off that. Guess not. My bad.

I've pretty much come to realize I won't be buying anything via mail from overseas.
