honestly that's what I thought but then other folks told me they are accustomed to paying such fees and have been before the recent tariffs, I have not been much of a shopped on AliExpress or Alibama so I couldn't tell you

This is new. Chinerrr isn't paying it, Americans buying things from China are.
I just bought some small 3 phase motors, similar order from same place before the tariffs, no tariffs charge previously but a hefty charge this time.
Amazon was going to show what the tariffs add to products but were shamed? forced? into not doing that.

At least you got it when the taxes tariff was only 50% ..... that must have been pure luck

In the UK we used to be able to buy stuff from Aliexpress at the price listed so long as it was below a $15. Lots of sellers would mark every purchase as $10 - $14.99 regardless of the price so it was great not paying import duty. Now they add 20% to everything at checkout to prevent this.
