no, the price would be $12.50 total, the tariff is only $2.50

I have bought several items mainly for the garden and they have been very good, bought a bath robe as I couldnt find one locally that would fif, it is fine and at the price a real bargain. Some items my wife got were not great but at the price we couldnt whinge, over all with the free delivery(usually 3 to 4 weeks) and low cost plus the amount of products available it is equal or even better than shopee & lazada for most of what we get

the tariff is on the price on the manufactured item not the actual final retail price, ie, if the manufacturer sells it to the distributor for $10 then that is the price the tariff is based on, for china with a 125% tariff it will cost an extra $2.50, the tariff isnt added to the final price in retail like many are trying to push so the tariff will not add heaps to the price paid by the consumer

Australia has a 10% tariff in the US, the US now has a 10% tariff on Australia, this is the case with most world countries, while it does mean adjustments in the market it evens out the playing field making US made goods cheaper than imported ones for americans. The US companies it is effecting are the ones that produce overseas using cheap labour then getting extra tariff prices sending to the US, while sending US made overseas may drop buying US made in the US should increase.

he is the expert on it, doubt anyone will top him.

thanks guys, I want to get someone to actually get into the roof and have a look but trying to convince my wife is another matter, while she complains about the noise she doesnt want to do anything other than get the mothballs tossed around. Will update if we can find out what it is, while I think there maybe rats some of the sounds are way too heavy, actually wondered if we have a snake up there chasing/eating them as we do get banging every so often

Not sure where to post this so please move if this is the wrong area. We built our house around 31/2 years ago, we are out of the city and have an open field behind us as well as a rubber tree farm next to us. We are now getting noises in the ceiling/roof, they usually start up during the day and get more active at night, while we thought it was probably a few rats some of the foot falls are very heavy and we can get loud commotion at times as well so I doubt the heavier ones are rats. I am unable to access the roof area due to back problems so cant get up there to see, we have had several of the large moth balls tossed about in the roof which are supposed to repell rats, have even heard them being pushed around so either thay dont work or its not rats. Would appreciate suggestions as to what we can do to stop this from happening and get rid of what ever is up there.

hahahahaha, over half of the US voters put Trump in office so according to you the US is basically full of idiots and inbreds, you must fell really great to know your family is more than probably decended from inbreds and deplorables and that your kids if you have any are/will also be from the same blood. Just goes to show how pathetic democrats think when they run their own families into the dirt because they are incapable of rational thought believing anything spewed by their dem leaders with no truth invoved in what they say, what a total joke dems are

I do everything online with a computer, never used my phone todo anything other than call or message people so does this mean I can no longer leave and return to Thailand, have always filled in a tm6 on the plane, even immigrations asks for your tm6. While those that cannot live without playing on their phones some of us refuse to use them for anything other than calls etc, going overseas I take my laptop to do anything online, bit hard to show anyone qr code with it. The last tm6 I filled in was in 2019, havent left Thailand since and it is still required every year I do my visa extension

the collapsed building was being done by the govt using a chinese construction company with chinese materials, explains a lot.

lets be honest, most thais have no idea what the shirts represent or what they say in english, brings back the memory of the girl with the BJ t shirt not realizing what it meant till someone told her, she replaced it very fast. Not that long ago they were in to hitler, its a thai thing, the only time they get offended is if buddha is involved otherwise its all fair game.

there is a little place here in Surat Thanni that does the best burgers I have had in THailand, nice thick burger, egg, onion, cheese, bacon, tomato and lettuce on your choice of whte or charcoal bun, they have around 15 or so sauce choices on the table for you, I go for the peppercorn & the mushroon sauces. They then give you the choice of french fries or real mashed potato, beer is ice cold and all up under 300 baht, definitely a great burger

dont forget the beetroot and onions

lets ne realistic here, the only reason democrats dont want this is because they know they will lose a lot of their votes, showing you are a citizen of that country to vote is basic, we had to do it in Australia so why cant they do it in the US. Its a real laugh when you look at the total BS reasons dems come up with, if you are born in the US you will have access to a birth certificate(even if its not acceptable as proof), you will have access to a passport, you will have access to a social security number, there are several ways to show you are a US citizen. There is nothing untoward about it, the only reason dems are upset is because they know many of their voters are not US citizens or are dead people, if other western world countries need to do it then you really have to wonder why the dems are bitching so loud in the US, shows they do not want the truth coming out about their support base, shows they are totally pathetic

we have bought several thinks with temu, no problems at all, they all arrived, products are average quality but work, we are mainly getting things to use in the garden areas but have bought a few other things that were fine as well
