PJPower05 Posted July 18 Posted July 18 I am a bit perplexed,... Went to the WW US site and saw the Viper ICP + MFD combo for $561... Then I saw the 55% tax rate. Total nearly $1k. I have nothing but good things to say about WW, and even had to get spare parts from them. Curiously Amazon still has the ICP for $212.
speed-of-heat Posted July 18 Posted July 18 (edited) This is the impact of Tariffs on US consumers of goods from China. It’s possible Amazon already has stock that was imported prior to tariffs going into effect.

Dragon1-1 Posted July 18 Posted July 18 Yup, this is the new reality for everything Chinese in the US. Tariffs are ultimately paid by the consumer, this is what you're seeing. 2
Mr_sukebe Posted July 18 Posted July 18 Maybe the next time you see someone with a MAGA hat on, you can ask them to pay the tax. They voted for it. 4 7800x3d, 5080, 64GB, PCIE5 SSD - Oculus Pro - Moza (AB9), Virpil (Alpha, CM3, CM1 and CM2), WW (TOP and CP), TM (MFDs, Pendular Rudder), Tek Creations (F18 panel), Total Controls (Apache MFD), Jetseat

I just placed an order through the Winwing USA web site. The order had no added Tax. Are you sure you're not on the Global shipping site? Edited July 18 by mkel2010
