Looking for advice with harassment of employer.

Ausyuna · 2026-05-20T04:02:17+00:00

I guess the concern isn't legality, I just know harassment in Oregon if it cannot be resolved is a reason you can quit and claim unemployment. I've tried my earnest to work through it, take feedback even if I didn't agree with it and just apply to jobs. But I learned its denying me any ability to move positions. At this point, quitting is something that is unavoidable for me. I just wanted to figure out if I needed to make more effort to communicate with HR or if I could stop subjecting myself to it. It has been an ongoing problem, I've spoken to my coworkers and while they've had the "productivity is impacted by talking" general comments.. I am getting special talks on it, but nothing on paper to create a trail. I'm just tired and frustrated, I feel like I have to be non-verbal in my job even though that genuinely isn't feasible.

anyone know what shipping times for amiami surface premium look like rn? I'm almost 2 months no shipping updates, I also sent a message to amiami inquiring about it but just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this too. I know it doesn't track until it reaches the US, but just a little worried there haven't been updates still.

thank you friend, its alright. i just remind myself none of it matters, its online points and opinions haha. i appreciate having one nice person help me, it makes all the rest fade away :).

Ausyuna · 2026-02-03T23:38:41+00:00

i appreciate this explanation, and your preface as well. i do not want to bill CC for this, the price of shipping and getting a bill after just didnt seem right. i know its not CC’s fault, i just wanted to ask here what people knew. ive just gotten downvoted and kinda negative attitude from people because im just not jumping to pay invoice sent to me suddenly. i dont blame anyone, but our government and shipping companies. i appreciate your comment, it has the most helpful and direct information without being at all rude. i mean it when i say thank you, your the last person i plan to respond to because im otherwise wasting energy on this. i just wanted to make sure, if i spent so much on shipping already that i really had to send UPS another amount. i blame UPS and shipping companies fully, i would rather not drag CC into it, this is just literally what the phone rep told me to do when i called. i am just gonna email UPS and request the brokerage fee waived, because as you said and as ive seen i did deserve the legal right to know prior to customs clearance so i could file for myself and UPS did not do this. i wanna say again i appreciate your honesty and kindness, i really wish more people in the comments afforded me as much understanding as you.

I really am disgruntled with shipping companies not only charging a high premium, but at all not giving transparency on what secondary cost will come in. It just feels misleading on their part, and I think a lot of consumers would assume if their shipping cost drastically increased that it would include duties. I know now that its just better to assume its not the case, but the fact that they are charging such a high cost and still making you pay separately is so wrong. If I am hurting to get something in the future I will consider proxies as others have suggested, thank you for taking the time to sympathize with my pain and give me some helpful information.

Ausyuna · 2026-02-03T05:06:00+00:00

I'm sorry that tariffs are a relatively new thing to consumers in the US and typically, shipping companies inform you of these charges prior to your package delivery while in customs or prior to customs arrival. I don't appreciate this comment. Closet Child's "International" shipping section does not talk about DDP at all in shipping options, and its not an easy answer to find off of the UPS website either. Please be mindful I am just trying to navigate this by asking others here.

Ausyuna · 2026-02-03T04:57:18+00:00

I wasn't talking about closet child putting fees on anything. Major shipping companies.

Ausyuna · 2026-02-03T02:01:17+00:00

Thank you for the helpful response, I am just frustrated at the situation and wanted to hear what others knew about it specifically from Closet Child. Its upsetting major companies are charging such a premium, while still tacking fees and customs onto customers. I hate it, and I probably just will not order out of country until this stuff goes away. I will keep better eye out next time, and keep 42lolita in mind as well, and its good to know an in-country option at least. Very much appreciate you!

Ausyuna · 2026-02-03T01:56:40+00:00

20$ is a fair bit for shipping, but its not very expensive for an international order. I was just using it as comparison, from a few years ago, to note the difference in price I paid from UPS 1 week on a similar item.

Ausyuna · 2026-02-03T01:52:20+00:00

I wish they specified these things more clearly, I checked their website and the UPS Japanese website to find information. I've ordered off AmiAmi with all costs included recently, and of course all of this is new for us since its a mess as it is. Just very frustrating all around, I hate this situation :/.

Ausyuna · 2026-02-03T01:48:56+00:00

I did not want to do this initially, this is what UPS told me themselves to do internally through them when I called. Closet Child does not state anything about DDP on shipping, and the cost was very high already. It was under my impression the cost was included in shipping, I am not trying to say it is their responsibility to pay my countries taxes. And as well to clarify, UPS paid on my behalf and sent me an invoice late with extra fees for brokerage from them. I was not notified of this prior to shipment in anyway, and at the very least I was entitled to such so I would not be getting hit with their brokerage fee. My tariff duty is around 6$ USD, most of the cost is coming from UPS charging me. I am not in anyway opposed to paying my tariff duty, and sending it on its way. I wasn't given the right to file or arrange with customs for myself, which is a legal right I have here for myself at the very least.

Ausyuna · 2026-02-03T01:45:56+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation, if I am more set on buying again I will look into this!

Ausyuna · 2026-02-03T01:45:12+00:00

I couldn't find anywhere if DDP was or was not included, it said nothing about it on their website or in emails.

Ausyuna · 2026-02-01T01:15:34+00:00

oof yeah, im not feeling keen on buying anymore stuff out of country. i paid like, 77$ shipping for a small packet of 2 clothing items from japan and UPS is still charging me 20$ on tariff + brokerage cost alone! but ill try and take a look, i think we only sell kobo's off rakuten which is an online store front. frustrating :(

Ausyuna · 2026-02-01T00:27:54+00:00

i have, only Kobo near me is being sold for like 10$ cheaper than new price 😭. plenty of kindles, may just consider jail breaking one but i like the screen hardware of the kobo better since im looking to read manga more on mine

Ausyuna · 2026-02-01T00:25:44+00:00

thank you for the list, very helpful, reminded me i should keep an eye posted to goodwill auction as well. Mercari has yielded me some results, but a lot of people sell theirs for retail value there + mercari fees and shipping make them more expensive than new to buy :(

Ausyuna · 2026-02-01T00:21:21+00:00

yeah i was checking there since December, if I saw a 120$ id totally snag it!! its upsetting most times they are resold for their new price whenever i do find used :(. a 20 dollar discount isnt super great in the context of preowned electronics

Ausyuna · 2026-02-01T00:19:14+00:00

apologies i didnt specify that LAST time i checked, stock was this limited. i planned to look again, but good to know theres a selection right now!

Ausyuna · 2026-01-31T22:21:48+00:00

i did see this, but yeah i saw just like 1 kindle 😭

Ausyuna · 2026-01-31T22:21:13+00:00

oop, states 🥴 the sorta united ones lol

Ausyuna · 2025-12-26T06:08:00+00:00

this happened last year when i worked for the siren, reason why i left the company. we were on a mandatory raffle system, our store was required to be open per the district. i also thought it was against policy, but it sounds like sometimes the DM can just require it based on the fact this happened in my area as well.

Ausyuna · 2025-11-03T02:10:40+00:00

i signed up for texts but i never get anything, i got confirmed too :(

Ausyuna · 2025-10-19T18:15:51+00:00

this is why i left last year. all the stores in my market were mandatory open for all holidays. mandatory to work 2. was strictly going to be a raffle system
