and China won't sell to America

[dchill]

1. Thanks, Obama.

[lunatica]

6. LOL!

[Codeine]

2. Seems unlikely. nt

[Control-Z]

5. What seems unlikely.

I'm not understanding your post.

[cwydro]

12. Very.

[Takket]

3. huh? What store?

[demtenjeep]

4. Amazon

it said there was an indefinite hold

[Karadeniz]

7. Could they have run out?

[Codeine]

9. That isn't even close

to being “China won’t sell to America.” This is likely a supply chain issue. Every import-heavy business experiences these.

Even if it is tariff-related then it’s almost certainly a matter of ascertaining final costs in order to adjust pricing.

[MontanaMama]

8. For real?

[cwydro]

14. My guess is no.

[Codeine]

19. No. Not real at all. nt

10. I buy eyeglasses directly from Zenni Optical and other gadgets from GearBest...

both Chinese companies that ship directly. Containers come into LA and then the stuff gets dropped off at the post office.

I once had a problem with GearBest not liking a particular credit card, but it took another one. Never had a problem with Zenni.

Haven't ordered from either for a while, but I should. I could use some new glasses and watches and see how it's going.

Amazon partners with small vendors and who knows how their stuff gets in. It's possible nobody's shipping or taking orders until the Trumptaxing gets straightened out.

11. Can you post a link to the product?

I'd like to see what happens when ordering.

17. He told me last night. He is not political so he did not elaborate further. He hates that I watch

politics and he says all I do is watch tv to bag on trump


but he wondered if it was because of the tariffs.

13. Call your congressman & senator

Let them know that someone who needs visual aids can not buy something affordable, to help him. I feel this is just a canary in a coal mine. What other medical aids will Americans not have access to in the future, because....trump trade war?

[WillowTree]

16. ".......can not buy something affordable, to help him." Not exactly true.

There are literally dozens of large button keyboards on Amazon alone that don't have to come from China. (I'm talking about the fact that they're Prime eligible which gives guaranteed receipt dates unless something is specifically marked "ships in 2-3 weeks" or something similar.) At worst, this man can't order that specific item, but we really don't know why. I'm pretty sure they didn't get a message that actually said that they won't sell to the US. I'd want to see a link to the item so I can try it myself before I'd believe that.

18. So perhaps a misunderstanding

of the seller's intent.

[Bonx]

15. I heard something like this from someone too

very similar.
