So it’s not a flat 25 fee and is indeed the price we paid x1.5? Roughly 375 USD additional?making this about 610 USD all told?DPD told me there’s no flat-rate tariff (??), and it’s approximately 152.5% overall.

wtf???DPD told me there’s no flat-rate tariff (??), and it’s approximately 152.5% overall.
I might have dealt some misinformation on this -- there was an outdated "Fact Sheet' (great name) that provided $25/$50 figures for May and June. An Executive Order superseded this, changing it to $100/$200 flat fees per parcel valued at or under $800 imported via USPS.So it’s not a flat 25 fee and is indeed the price we paid x1.5?

25$ additional is one thing, I’m not sure I can justify an additional tariff more than the actual cost of the item itself. I’m a loyal customer, and I don’t blame @Brenyo at all, but that’s just too much money. I’m thinking that this “point of origin” stuff is going to wreak havoc on the vape industry.That's honestly what I'm gearing up for and expecting unfortunately. The only real hope I have of not paying a roughly 150% tariff is that by the time we have to make this decision, there has been enough backlash to unwind or reduce the tariffs. But I really don't expect that to happen, not in time anyway. The way I see it, we should prepare for the worst case scenario and then if it's not as bad as we expected, we'll just enjoy our new devices even more

ah, damn. i hope it can start sooner. any chance we get more tempest-porn in the meantime? You didnt show us the sexy CU yet. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)The EU store situation is a bit unclear and depends on customs, I expect shipping to start around the middle of the month.
I totally understand where you're coming from. Even though I can spare the money, it's a bitter pill to swallow.25$ additional is one thing, I’m not sure I can justify an additional tariff more than the actual cost of the item itself.

It's been covered in the last couple of pages so this is my last comment related to the tariffs, but 150% is on top of the retail value for items with China as the manufacture country of origin. So the roughly $250 I paid will be subject to potentially $375 in tariffs ON TOP of the $250.
$625 all in. Not ideal by any means but not altogether a deal breaker, mainly because I've worked hard to get to a high paying role the last couple of years and it's not painful at all like it would have been in the past. Still, hopefully just waiting it out a bit allows things to settle and this becomes a non-issue.
What does this mean exactly? Don’t get me wrong —I feel bad for the Americans who voted for Kamala (not so much for the rest, to be honest; they did it to themselves after being warned a thousand times). But MadHeaters is a European company, and as an EU customer I really hope whatever’s going on in the US has no bearing on EU or other international customers.The EU store situation is a bit unclear and depends on customs, I expect shipping to start around the middle of the month.
I’m guessing the lack of pictures or videos is why people drift into other topics.
YesSeems an unreasonably large ask of a single person operation. Have not decided on whether to dispose of of my V1 post V2 arrival, but do the tariffs apply to personal shipments; i.e. a personal sale from CA->US, although I'm not really wanting to deal with international post to the US right now.
What country are you in?My wife just asked why I was repeating Oh my God! OH MY GOD! over and over
Thank you Brenyo![]()
What country are you in?
Agreed. I’m crossing my fingers that everything works out for US orders.
Me too. Been a really rough week, finished work early today, so I was sitting quietly contemplating everything that's gone on with a coffee and my tempest.My wife just asked why I was repeating Oh my God! OH MY GOD! over and over
Thank you Brenyo![]()
Thought so—UK orders always go out first. I hope the rest of the EU and the world follow soon.I'm UK - order number is P97xx if that helps
This is reminds me of the V1 launch where we were all comparing order numbers to work out shipment dates![]()
No way, was checking my order number to compare and the delivery notification email came in right then!I'm UK - order number is P97xx if that helps

.
What number are you?
Thought I was pretty quick in getting my order in. Not as quick as I'd hoped![]()
