#tariff impact

okay so here's the skinny - I wanted to wait two weeks before I knew what the situation was for sure because I'm a regular at my local post office and I know I can interview 'em on slow days for what's been happening with folks trying to get their shit over the border to family, friends, and as small businesses

what's been happening is that to no one's surprise, USPS and the like are no where NEAR ready to implement and calculate exact tariffs on 99% of stuff sent over the border, so what the process is now is that you're meant to download the zonos prepay app and that generates a declaration ID number/helps you pay associated tariff fees, right? Well according to my post office peeps not a single person has actually had to pay additional fees on top of their shipping . You just generate an ID number and punch it into your shipping label order on the canpost website.

which: hey, good news for me, shipping prices haven't changed all that much, right?

the issue is that etsy itself, however, has still not figured out how to integrate this simple declaration ID step into their backend, so they STILL don't let me purchase shipping labels from them directly. (why am i not surprised, they've had a label preset error that I've been cheesing as long as I've been using them)

so for anything that's in a bigger package or needs tracking info (large prints, custom commissions, buttons) I'm gonna have to go to the canada post website and punch in all the info, manually, every single time.

I'm totally willing to do this for commissions, but running this process for every single large print and button order is not... great. Until etsy figures its' shit out, those two item categories will not be available the states.

TL:DR regular 8.5x11 prints, custom queue cards, and stickers are all available to the USA again for now
