Hey FedEx, you’re gonna refund the customers that you passed those tariffs onto, right?
post
Governor Pritzker of Illinois has already sent a demand letter for $1700 for each household in Illinois.
They should have to pay back all corporations, and then send a check to every household. It was this administration that caused this, and they should have to pay for it.
Problem is, it won't be paid by Trump & co., it'll be paid by taxpayers. And the tax cuts for the wealthy that depended on the revenue increase from the tariffs, aren't going away.
So the tax payers get a refund by paying extra taxes. And yet I'm not allowed to pay off MY credit cards with other credit cards. So unfair.
I should sue for a refund too. It's my money and I want it now.
Realistically since the American consumer ultimately paid it, it should be returned via a tax credit on our taxes. That was it doesn’t matter if you paid via higher prices, or flat out paid import fees. It goes back to the consumer.
I think maaaaybe on b2b or larger transactions that included a Tariff line item in the invoice. The $2 widget you bought at Dollar Tree, not likely.
From the POV of a business it cost them more labor and money to collect and pay the tariffs and now getting reimbursed and paying the customers/clients back would cost them even more labor and money.
It's an unfunded cluster fuck of an issue that never should have happened to begin with.
You kept receipts for everything you bought since the tariffs went live?
Nope, which is why it should be a standard amount. For example, Illinois is suing for $1700/person regardless of what they spent. That’s what they calculated out was the average.
And if you spent more than the $1700?
It’s never going to be perfect. Good luck with that, but the question is “did you spend more than $1700 in tariffs?” I mean you’re welcome to try to sue every company and the government directly to get it back.
Then you're probably reselling some shit and passed those prices on to a customer.
Turns out running a country like a company with no clue how to run a company is a bad idea.
Yeah but the casinos… oh nvm.
I needed a replacement for an item hat failed under warranty. The original part was made in Canada, and a replacement was mailed to me free of charge. Except, I got a note from FedEx that i had to pay tarriffs... My tariff was $5, but FedEx was charging a $25 tariff handling fee on top of the $5. And if I didn't prepay, they would instead charge $40 total to collect my $5 tarriff.
FUCK FedeEx for having the audacity to request a refund from the federal government on top of their blind extortion. These fuckers need to burn.
DID Fed Ex pay those tariffs? It seems to me that those costs were passed on to the consumers.
They're suing on behalf of their customers. I'm sure they will also be spending the settlement on behalf of their customers as well.
This was entirely predictable, also don't expect cost to go down now either.
I agree that Fed Ex should be sending those refunds to everyone who has to pay them.
But I think FedEX should be able to sue. It used to be anything under $600 didn't get a tariff. It was too costly and burdensome on the package handlers to collect the tariff. Also the system was designed to hold those $600 packages, not all the packages. Instead of ramping up Fed Ex had to handle a new system blind, with no preparation time. That had to effect core business
Hell would love to see a class action suit by all the package shippers and handlers against the government for what they had to go through
Can we later sue FedEx, assuming FedEx gets reimbursed? Human centipede that shit.
This is gonna be a clusterfuck.
Who do I sue to get back the illegal tarrifs I paid on the hot tub I imported?
Corpos passed the cost of those tariffs on to consumers in the form of higher prices. They already GOT paid. But why screw consumers once when you can do it twice?
Its only been a year and we're at billions in illegal taxes to be returned.
Yeah Trump now you have to pay everyone back with all the country's money you laundered away from US and venezuela, and the corrupt deals you made with, among others, saudi arabia. Maybe you can still make some coin on the international trade you wanna set up with ruzzia. Hope he also has to pay back everyone he scammed with his bitcoins.
The problem is the money is just going to go to the businesses who passed the cost to their customers.
Then sue the businesses, isn't their a customer watchdog that can sue them? In europe we have those https://commission.europa.eu/live-work-travel-eu/consumer-rights-and-complaints/enforcement-consumer-protection_en https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/europe-s-privacy-watchdog-launches-large-scale-probe-into-elon-musk-s-x/ar-AA1WvE8Q but yeah justice is quite gone from america and business have more power than citizens so yeah lmao thats what it means to be american ig
They'll get their tariff money back - if they remember to bribe Donny. Otherwise, he'll probably try to get federal agencies to harass them.
