Hopefully copies for non US buyers will ship soon....
Really feel for you guys in the US right now...
Strange times, seeming like you're on a slippery slope going forward..
Don't want to delve too deep politics wise for fear of post deletion but clearly the US hasn't learned from it's historical errors...
Watch this space...

All shipments from China/Hong Kong will be subject to at least a $25 fee per item. Starting June 1, that $25 fee per item will increase to $50 per item. This is crazy.
Oh, he closed the 'loophole' for personal orders, not just corporate, company shipments.
'Cause there was a $800 tax free incoming shipments limit.



Shipments to all other countries will continue as scheduled.

'Cause AFAIK there's an $800 tax free incoming shipments limit.

The link I previously shared has the info from the White House. You didn't read it? Yes, Trump has ended the tax free situation for personal shipments valued $800 or less, but it won't take affect until May 2.

So happy my copy of this edition has a tracking number. Looks like some of us in the US will get our copies shipped before it's possibly too late.

Nobody is fear mongering. Blufans said on April 11 that they would pause all shipments to the US on April 15, but they have apparently extended their shipment deadline.

Some posts in this thread, my opinion felt otherwise. And considering how people read the threads then i get bombarded with emails etc. freaking out... I can consider it that.

I mean for over a decade I have read posts on here from the fine folks in this Community who live in other Countries than the US have to deal with customs. Or ask me to mark things gift or whatever to help with customs fees.

Here in the US, I have received thousands of packages and I paid customs fees only 1 time. So if you are telling me that I will have to be like the rest of you fine folk, then I'm not in fear of that. I'll deal with it no different then how you lot deal with it.

And not to mention blufans never marks full value anyways.

And lastly like most Companies they make announcements on pauses to "figure things out" and I've been told news that will help the USA address folks for the future. Idk if its public so I won't mention it.

But yeah all is well, 2001 uploaded, I'll upload Antman 1 next (DL)

I never gave my opinion in my 2 previous posts. Neither post mentioned anything about customs fees. My first comment was in reference to the possibility that my order might be held by Blufans for an indefinite amount of time. I was just stating I was happy it shipped out. My second comment is factual. The idea of me fear mongering is just your opinion.

It's not a matter of value, maybe you missed the news, but the current US president specifically issued a new order/law, whatever it's called, targeting all items from China no matter the cost. Then he maybe paused it, rewinded, replayed – I don't know what else he's done while I was typing this, but it's a fact, and it's the first time something like that is happening. But it's a fluid situation, that is changing and will change.

I'm sure Blufans will be able to 'mask' their shipments, 'launder' them through a hub in some other 'friendlier' country. If Putin can keep shipping oil to everyone by the tanker, some geeked out small company will be able to ship out some Blu-ray boxes. So you're right that people shouldn't panic. Though the 'threat', as unimportant and 'first world' as it is, is real. :shipped: :facepalm:

Considering how you replied to me as if I was implying my post towards you to begin with pretty much sums up my original thought as I was never replying that comment with your posts.

I replied after you, but I didn’t quote you;)

Seemed like you were replying to me indirectly, but fair enough.
