Upcoming Blasters and Products

Maybe get some in , and do a collaboration order, with an aussie supplier…

Do you currently partner, with any aussie suppliers.?

Maybe trumps tarrifs will work in our favour here…

As Usa gets more difficult to deal with, ( and sales numbers fall) they will relax export restrictions to other, more normal and reasonable countries…

No it doesn’t just increases the price for consumer that is all. Consumer will say , can’t afford that.

I like how Canada slapped 25% back on them. I have friends over there and they are the light switch for USA.

Interesting times indeed. Oh well do what we do and ride whatever it is out.

I can’t buy anything in USA now like I used to.

But now my business has picked up. That’s is reverse because they have crashed the aussie dollar more people mainly China are buying what I produce because it is cheaper for them, and I get more money. That is how it works. Hope it stays that way for all of us.

Yes it’s been a very difficult time over on Akgelblaster’s Discord trying to explain to the Americans how this all works, and it’s not the Chinese or whoever pay these Tarriffs… it’s THEM, the American people!

Akgelblaster had to do a lot of work reshuffling the website to drop the advertised retail prices of her Blasters to try and offset the costs to the consumer imposed by the new Tarriffs, and then add the removed retail dollars into the shipping price to bring the total cost of the blasters back inline with the original prices.

People lost their mind and thought there was something dodgy going on and they were being scammed, because the Blasters were suddenly extremely cheap, but the shipping was really expensive.

Original blaster price:
$120 + free shipping = $120.

Modified blaster price:
$50 + $70 shipping = $120.

This way the consumer was only paying Tarriffs on $50, not $120.

Smart move by Akgelblaster to help out her customers…but no, that’s way too difficult to explain to the average American thinking they were being scammed. :roll_eyes::joy:

I wonder how many trump voters are now reconsidering….

As their prices on everything go up…due to the orange skinned frauds tariffs…

It’s scary just how ignorant such large population groups can be…

Some basic education systems that go above 5th grade knowledge would go a long way to helping out that country! :joy:

I know Americans are VERY angry at the moment and will shoot you down in flames on the forums I am on.

I just quickly pull them up and we ADF in Vietnam come to the aid of you and you shot at my Uncle. VC DID NOT HAVE M113’s knobhead, Oh yes we are getting better with communications. My Uncle had a direct line to the Huey pilot as all ADF CAV did. Quit brassing us up or I got twin MAG58’s here and drop you fuckers out the sky. They didnt stop, shut lids and advance fuck them.

And a 90 day warranty, on pollies and policies, post election…!!

Might need a woolen nappy for you :rofl:

Oh yes, heard MANY similar stories from my family members and other ex ADF mates!

I better vacate or I’ll scare AKgelblaster off .

War is never good for either side, I wish they just stop it. People die. I hate it. :disappointed_relieved:

The other thing they couldn’t understand is that once their Blasters arrived in the USA, they were then complaining that they had to pay MORE money on import fees before the item was allowed to be passed onto the delivery service.

Having a whinge that they’d already paid Akgelblaster for the Blaster and were being scammed because now they had to pay MORE money to receive their items.

Trying to explain that it’s not up to Akgelblaster to front up with the coin to pay whatever extra Taxes/VAT/GST/Tarriffs/Import Duties that their government charges their citizens… that’s something they should have researched BEFORE importing a product into their country. :roll_eyes:

Can’t wait to see parts be made in Vietnam and India haha

I’ve seen videos on tiktok on the way they “recycle” certain goods in India, like tyres for one :flushed:

definitely did not inspire confidence in goods made in India

and we all know how reliable their telephone support is

For real, well derr that is common knowledge. I buy something from USA, it gets GST slapped on top of purchase price on entry to my country.

But like buying from England, as we are part of the Commonwealth and have a trade agreement, we get expedited air mail at cheaper than Australia interior freight. UK applys their VAT on their end before you buy and plus our own GST10% so if you don’t agree to that then don’t buy it.

It’s always been that simple. I’ve never had to pay more on import to country upon arrival Items. Always add it on up front. Then there is the varying AUD dollar amounts we have which you do have to watch.

I’ve been doing this for over 20 years, how is it a reliable retailers fault? It is the consumers own countries taxes they must pay upon arrival, or it sits in customs. You no pay they have big garbage bin it goes in to…

Because their gov changed the rules and they woke up yesterday at some frat party blind drunk and blame everyone else.

Yep sounds familiar…

I’d show you how I recycle tyres. But that is for my Tea and Scones elite access club :rofl:

I’m sure it’s better than India’s method, although I meant them retreading tyres to reuse
