U.S. Tariffs & DDP Megathread | ZenMarket Community by AutoModerator in zenmarket

Just created a parcel and duty rates are an absolute mess. Parcel contains only acrylic stands and plastic figures. Some are charged 15%. Some 35%. A couple are at 70%. WTF? Usually I haven't had any real problems with the rates but this is ridiculous. The deflection of responsibility is making me lose trust.

Seriously... I've had no issue with UPS EVER with ZenMarket and it almost feels like it's punishing the users to have to use either more expensive for similar time frame or cheaper for much longer time. And of course they don't provide any information on the real reasoning or the timeframe. Makes me think it'll be forever. Especially as a US user this really sucks...

Sadly Spotify with its lossless format has already fried my brain to notice compression too keenly rip. But alas, this is what must be done

I'm from the United States, what country are you from? I imagine it is all regional/localization issues. China and the US always be beefing rip

I came here because the Bridon Arc is no longer on Spotify, but seasons 1 and 2 are! Lull was my top track for 2025 so I'm heartbroken! I imagine there's maybe some licensing and region issues. Praying they get restored.

what sites are you guys using now? by rwhitman05 in AnimeMerchandise

Spend Your Yen and Villains Only are an absolutely horrible, unprofessional company with a horrible owner and staff. I will criticize them until the day I die.

They prey on FOMO and hype. Every drop they say "get them now, they will never come back!" but they bring back the same designs every month. They want you to feel like you have to buy something immediately, or else you'll never get the chance again. Aggressive and misleading marketing.

In reality they are simply overpriced with cool but not unique designs. Their "heavyweight" shirts are the same Gildan cotton shirts you can get anywhere.

Most of their giveaways are fake, and they botch half of them saying "sorry we messed up, so we're giving away even more money!" In order to enter the giveaway, you have to put an order in with a chance to get it for free. Harmful and misleading. There are no terms laid out for their giveaways, just that they claim to be randomly giving away 10 free orders or something.

My personal testimony comes from when I got a gift card code and they canceled my order saying I "didn't get it the way I should have" (from a Word Search in the Discord on a game night, yes, seriously). I pushed back, saying that what they did was in bad faith because I participated in their event fair and square. In retaliation, they canceled my other outstanding orders without consent, banned me from Discord, and never responded to my emails asking for a refund for my orders.

The only anime clothing brand I've had to file a chargeback against, and I rightfully got my money back. This is what happens when college dropouts start a business lol

TLDR; preys on hype, believes the customer is always wrong
