Interesting if UPS is in fact the last leg given what's been discussed. TBH my curiosity for how this thing arrives and if there will be a tariff far exceeds the anticipation of using the device itself
Dang that's for sure a little disappointing. UPS absolutely is going to charge the tariff. It's ok though I'm just glad the US orders are being shipped because frankly I wouldn't have held it against them if they just canceled them over the headache. Something something beggars and choosers, and all that lol

I think it’s more likely there won’t be than will be given the thought MH has put into this and reports of successful deliveries.
There is the option to refuse delivery and have it reshipped at another time which is mega classy.

Interesting, because it sounds like the first wave used USPS for the last mile. Is there a greater chance of tariffs being levied with the commercial carriers?Left the UK shortly after tracking arrived and has been in the air for a few hours now.
DPD provides a delivery partner tracking URL taking me to Asendia which in turn has a "Visit tracking site: UPS" URL and that gets me a "Tracking information for this item is not available at this time. Please check back later."

That's my understanding, but we're about to find out! Maybe the carrier / tracking will change from what I'm seeing now.
All that's certain is she's somewhere over the Atlantic
EDIT: It's USPS! The link lied. Email from DPD with subject "Your DPD order is on its way" explains the local hand off but didn't specify with whom. At the bottom there's a tracking button, but I assumed it was the DPD one. It took me to USPS and says awaiting package.

Came to say that my secondary tracking number is a USPS number but it looks y'all figured that out.
Try running your tracking number through http://postal.ninja, it'll give you a little more information.

Petulant child and criminal has announced he may start taxing EU an added 50% on June 1.
Here's hoping all US orders ship before then.

Lmao great understanding of global politics there bud. Ever here of brexit?
Its not. I believe the website either has a typo or some error. Ive gotten a lot of orders from MH and the same page shows for me everytime. However, when i click the “ups” link (once it actually works), it always goes to a usps site.Left the UK shortly after tracking arrived and has been in the air for a few hours now.

In my case, i already have my usps tracking number for when its handed over. Dpd sent me an email today with that info since its leaving the UK.

Order 9792 on the way!

I'm hoping for 0 Tariffs, but willing to accept $100 flat rate or even 30% if that's what it will take to get this amazing product.

I don't think it's really up to them is the thing. The only decision they really get to make is to accept the return packages but they have exactly zero say in whether a tariff is charged or not. UPS and FedEx have already shown exactly how they handle tariff fee collection. They usually don't charge you until after the package is delivered. At customs, they prepay the tariff which is the important distinction. USPS does not do that. Before UPS or FedEx has delivered your package, it has already cost them money at customs. They then send you a bill later if you accept the package. Brenyo and Mad Heaters are for sure going the extra mile though because they don't have to accept the return packages so at least there is that out if anyone still needs it. But I don't think it's accurate at all to assume that it's less likely to have a tariff than to have one. I honestly can't fathom a situation where there isn't a tariff in the form of a bill that people get a week or two after the package is delivered because that's how it's been working. People have even been charged retroactive tariffs through UPS specifically. This totally fits with your observation of "successful deliveries" because what I'm saying is that they don't usually bill you until weeks after you accept the package. And make no mistake, if you accept the package then you're legally bound to pay it. They can and will turn people into collections over it, again, unlike USPS. It's also not going to be the flat fee either. That, again, is exclusively a USPS thing. No other parcel carrier was given that option. The only option available to UPS and FedEx is the percentage of the declared value
