We ordered some custom printed items for work and they took forever. The explanation we got that customs are a mess. Trump’s flippant whimsical constant changes have lead to chaos of forms and fees.

UPS announced in October that tariffs have lead to such a backup that they are going to just dispose items if the sender doesn’t agree to pay to have items shipped back to them.
