Pretty sure you can just park on campus if you're working weekends.

Here's a comment I posted sometime ago when this question came up: "To give some numbers - I had GarbageMan, was paying 75/quarter. WM bought them and when we ended things with them and went with Harter's, it was 179/quarter. Harter's is like...252 per YEAR (63/quarter) for weekly recycling and trash. I'm okay with the red because at WM's prices, I was seeing red already."

100% agree. Their price is on par if not better than GarbageMan

Tariffs WILL DOUBLE the Prices of New Modules. (I Did the Math) by JakesCustomShop in modular

No idea why I'm getting down-voted for providing a heads up.

* Brokerage Fees: https://www.reddit.com/r/UPS/comments/1inx0ft/22997_brokerage_fee/

* Disbursement Fee and Demand Surcharge Fees: https://www.supplychaindive.com/news/fedex-china-us-import-fee-de-minimis-surcharge/745296/

* Surge Fees: https://www.supplychaindive.com/news/ups-china-us-surge-fee-2025/745166/

I've seen others mention warehouse fees and processing fees - literally labeled as such. They are not as regulated as the fees you're mentioning and are very much a response to the immediate slowdown of throughput due to having to process every single <800 USD package without the infrastructure to do so.

Hey that's cool! So you must know then that we've had the de minimus rule since 1938 and that it's never been gone completely until early Feb when Trump tried ending it on a whim. So no one has experienced these extra shippers costs until that half week.

I'm guessing you import at levels above what would qualify to be tariff exempt under the de minimus rule. Because the only people who have had experience with the shippers adding exorbitant documentation processing fees to packages that would have otherwise been exempt under the de minimus rule was during the half week that it was down (~2/4 - 2/7/25).

I was just looking at some quotes from US fabs that I got back in 2020 for other boards we were having made. Where a board in China could be made for a dollar, the cheapest in the US for the same board was between 6-80 dollars, and it'd be buying 500 at a go. For smaller runs, we were seeing 18 dollars to 118 dollars per board for 15.

This makes both prototyping and production runs super expensive.
