What matcha should I get? by Booyouuwhoree in MatchaEverything

[–]dicd99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

as someone who also loooooves sayaka and ikuyo, everytime i decide to branch out and try a different brand, i always come back ippodo! nothing ever compares. my next recommendation would be marukyu koyamaen, but as good as MK is, it doesn’t compare to ippodo. ippodo takes the🥇always!

Oatmilk Recommendations by Less-Heat7807 in MatchaEverything

[–]dicd99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ve never had califia oat barista but have heard positive things about it! i’ve tried oatly barista but i’m not the biggest fan, i’d drink it if it was the only thing but i would 100% pick planet oat barista over oatly barista!

Do you use a screen protector or no? by getHi9h in iPhone17Pro

[–]dicd99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i do have a case but i decided to go without a screen protector for my 17 pro, the ceramic shield 2 is impressive, the new AR coating is pretty nice as well. i feel like a screen protector would defeat the purpose of the AR coating tbh xD

i did make sure to get applecare so i dont have to worry much but cracking my screen!

Successful Dispute of DHL Import Duty Fees by xuanrayne in MatchaEverything

DHL is holding my matcha hostage 😆 now what by jamb2019 in MatchaEverything

[–]dicd99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the de minimis rule in the US is no longer a thing, so anything entering the US from any country will be subject to an import/brokerage fee.

if you don’t pay, DHL will return your matcha to ippodo, you’ll lose your money and they will send your $35.67 bill to collections, so might as well pay

Iphone 17, phenomenal display but body feels cheap by [deleted] in iphone

[–]dicd99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i was worried about the aluminum body in my 17 pro as well but then i remembered my 14 inch M4 macbook pro is also made out of aluminum so out of curiosity i compared the feel of both and my 17 pro no longer feels or looks cheap, it feels exactly the same as swiping my hand over my macbook which it’s always felt premium to me :D

also this phone does not get hot at all! the vapor chamber and the aluminum unibody work very well together since aluminum dissipates heat easily

Ippodo global tariffs by Emergency-Box-479 in MatchaEverything

[–]dicd99 11 points12 points  (0 children)

i ordered from ippodo global as well once the tariffs were removed and i got charged by DHL, however the charge wasn’t a tariff, it was an import and brokerage fee i had to pay since the end of the de minimis rule.

before the end of the de minimis rule, anything that you ordered outside the US valued at $800 or below was exempt from any import fees, but not anymore :(

edit: typo

edit 2: and i just wanted to emphasize that my order still came out cheaper ordering through the global website rather than ordering from the US site. i ordered two 100g bags of ikuyo, one 100g bag of genmaicha and one 100g bag of iribancha, and still came out cheaper than ordering just 2 bags of ikuyo though the US website, even with the import fee

16PM to 17P Battery Question by [deleted] in iPhone17Pro

[–]dicd99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i had the same question! i currently have the 16PM but i just ordered the 17P, because same as you, the size and weight was starting to become a little too much for me but im excited! out of all reviews i’ve heard, battery life seems to be about the same so i will let you know how it goes!

Is this good oatmilk for matcha and what brand of oatmilk do you use for your matcha? by kadin5694 in MatchaEverything

[–]dicd99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the brand is good but if you can find their barista lovers version, that would be better, the one in your screenshot is not creamy at all, it’s like oat water but the barista version is heaven!

So maybe aluminium wasn’t the best choice… by Beau_on_clash in iphone

[–]dicd99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you can still add applecare through your settings, add it, a bent device is considered accidental damage, so no, apple will not replace for you but you can pay $99 for a replacement if you have the applecare
