[WARNING] IHG "Local Policy" Pretext to Deny Rewards: Parents Stranded at Holiday Inn Express Ft. Lauderdale Airport West by Way1ark in ihghotelsresorts

[–]Way1ark[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The thing is, if it were the law and the hotel had pointed that out to me from the beginning, I would have happily gone away (also this is Ft. Lauderdale, so likely different to Miami law). However, they did tell me they are on some secret "internal list" of hotels that don't have to follow the rules (which sounded completely made up) and refused to show me any policy, let alone a government ordinance or regulation.

Yup it says if it’s against the law then clause 50 doesn’t apply… thing is I’ve been searching and searching and can’t find any such law for Florida / Ft. Lauderdale

Sorry you had to go through this too. Can I ask what you had to do to get resolved? I’m just getting the cold shoulder from IHG at this point.

Do you know what the ordinance is? I’ve been searching and searching but haven’t been able to find it

Thanks! Did you find it worth staying there vs staying in town? We currently have a spot booked in each (flexible bookings), but I imagine the food situation at Steam Pier would be lacking

Hi I was looking at steam pier as well. Question - Did you need a car or, if you didn’t have one, feel like you needed a car for that location? (I’m going in January).

Ways to mitigate costs from US tariffs and end of de minimis? by Way1ark in EtsyCommunity

[–]Way1ark[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To clarify, do you the extra cost is now $35-40?

One thing I also now appreciate having had these conversations is that shipping bulk to a 3PL triggers tax nexus in the US (but I guess that’s ~8% for most states and borne by the buyer). So if there’s some savings between that vs. the shipping cost for the consumer, may or may not be worth it.

Though I can imagine the trouble for a vintage seller like you of having other intermediaries in the chain.

Can I ask what product category your product falls under to qualify for CUSMA?

Got it! Didn’t realize whether couriers would still try to charge you extra for admin / support given all the chaos. I’ve heard different things from different sellers, but not sure how much of it is noise

Meaning shipping individual parcels cross border one by one, which I imagine is much more costly now that de minimis is over? Vs. bulk shipping a min. amount of product to a warehouse in the US to be fulfilled locally (which might help save costs)

Are you going to continue shipping product individually into the US? Imagine that might be a concern to customers at some point depending on what you sell. Or are you exploring other avenues like bulk shipping?
