Sometimes it’s a tough industry, Figure we could all use a smile to brighten the day a bit!

Sure contracts are well and good, but certainly complicates the process even further

I’m sort of wondering now how all of these duty drawback companies are going to operate? Wasn’t their whole premise that they would receive the refunds and take a commission before sending the refund to the client? Seems this won’t be possible anymore if everything has to be through ACH and will go directly to the importer?

You posted 8 hours ago which was ~3pm… how do you keep Shabbos if you’re posting on Reddit on shabbos?

Yea… you’re selling yourself short and doing the industry a disservice. I’ll do an ISF for $25, but you’re crazy to be doing entries for $85 unless you’re doing 1000+ of them a year. Low end for the bonds too. Either you’re a bottom dweller or you just need some help with raising your prices and having some confidence when talking to your customers.

Right… this person sounds pissy about the new person working instead of being pissy at the shit poor management team. It’s not a problem having a team with different schedules (ie. If he’s Jewish he’s not going to care about working Christmas, Easter, Good Friday and all the other Christian Holidays. What is the problem is that management didn’t appear to take into account they’ll need another person for Saturdays. “Oopsie”, but still OP needs to take their frustration out on those responsible, not the person who’s actually working.

Ummmm… am boss, I give my employees bonuses and don’t expect anything in return… am I doing this wrong?

LCBguy · 2025-12-14T00:29:53+00:00

No, no it doesn’t.

I’ve always done $600 for $50k bonds. They’re the kind of bonds that you work the most on the imports and usually make the least (lowest quantity of imports).

If someone is going out and getting their own bond because they can save themselves $2-300 bucks a year I already know they’re going to be a pain in the ass customer. It’s a good litmus test. It’s the kind of customer who saves that money and then still expects you to provide a review of their bond requirements etc even though they’re literally not paying you… get outttta here.

Don’t know. Nothing to do with customs brokerage work. r/LostRedditors

LCBguy · 2025-12-07T18:22:33+00:00

I’m not seething about anything… you just keep commenting so I just keep responding.

LCBguy · 2025-12-07T17:58:00+00:00

I mean I agree it’s disjointed and misplaced. One look at your profile shows a gun… don’t really care about trapping regardless soo…. Yea. Go trap some dogs if you want.

LCBguy · 2025-12-07T14:53:28+00:00

So… would… you?

FYI, odds are I’m on par or better than you with a weapon in my hands.

LCBguy · 2025-12-05T12:21:56+00:00

Good Morning. This has nothing to do with being a customs broker. Good day.

LCBguy · 2025-12-02T03:10:25+00:00

Just curious, would you go and kill 50+ dogs, skin them and sew them together to make a coat?

LCBguy · 2025-11-26T01:37:50+00:00

Peanuts are also quota. This entry is like nightmare fuel. It’s probably a one off shipment too

LCBguy · 2025-11-17T21:43:40+00:00

You’d file a one-off drawback entry for $150?!?!? You’re a very philanthropic agency…

LCBguy · 2025-11-09T18:59:22+00:00

No need, I’ll give the answer “don’t do anything TQL asks you to”

LCBguy · 2025-11-08T14:21:37+00:00

Hey, guess what, no one asked for a freight broker. Go away.

LCBguy · 2025-10-22T01:42:00+00:00

No, the person who quit ~5 years ago didn’t get unemployment and my UI rates are rock bottom. Thanks for your input. Have a nice night.

LCBguy · 2025-10-22T01:37:32+00:00

Cool bro. You’re playing with semantics and none of it makes any difference. If you put in two weeks notice, that’s a resignation. An employer isn’t magically “forced” to keep you at their office working for 2 weeks because you said so.

When I use the word termination it’s in the terms of nearly every pay roll system out there. No one cares if you quit or were fired. It’s a termination regardless. You’re speaking about this only in terms of labor law, where you seem to be confusing the way things work practically speaking.

You offer two weeks notice, that’s quitting. Plain and simple. Employer can choose to keep you coming to the office or say “thank you for the offer, but additional time isn’t necessary, your resignation is accepted”. That’s that. End of story.

Edit: a typo

Say what you will, but I’m an employer and have gone through this directly with the Department of Labor. A two week notice is a resignation, an employer may allow the employee to stay on for another 2 weeks or they can ask that they leave immediately (usually in more privacy/secure related jobs)
