I sell some stuff on Marketplace occasionally and I find it SO weird how some people in Edmonton think a 15 min drive is incredibly far away. They act like I’m asking them to drive across the entire country or something. That - and how some folks cool off when they realize what area of town we live in. Weird. It is so weird. I never ran into that in BC or Ontario (Toronto).
Another magnetic fidget that I’m SUPER STOKED about! :nes_controller: I might be a bias gaming nerd admin, but I think this is now our instance mascot… 😂
Today’s skully creations! They took about 12 hours total… phew! image
U.S. Customer Importing Update for my Etsy shop: Looks like I’m going to have to pay tariffs on some of the items I make and want to import to U.S. customers. Some products are classified under one HTS code that is exempt under CUSMA. Those items include decorations, figurines, containers, etc. All my other items are considered 'toys' and treated similarly to anything coming in from China, even though I make everything myself within Canada. It's still subject to the 35% tariffs. Due to this, I'll have to apply for a hybrid type of approval with an importing broker. Further, my U.S. customers will see a flat 20% price increase on all items in my store to balance out non-tariff and tariffed products. It will not be labelled as a tariff at checkout; Etsy doesn't have that option yet. I'm super sorry about this. I wish I had a better solution. Shipping should open up again in a week or so, I hope.
