>>95160294The issue is the materials Hololive use to make their merch in Japan, comes from China, which is what the latest Trump tax hike is targeting. So even if it's assembled in Japan is irrelevant.
The real bullshit is this tax hike is retroactive so your existing orders orders that haven't been filled are held hostage unless you pay the new tax. And if you don't pay up, DHL effectively just steals your merch because they won't send your order at all and cancels it after 5 days of demanding you pay the new tax.
>>95171921>>95172227Reason for that is Hololive forces you to pick the most expedient shipping option with DHL so it gets to you in a 1 or 2 days. It's still bullshit that you can't pick a slower shipping option to save money since I'd easily go with $5 shipping even if it meant waiting another week or two.
I'd avoid SAL like the plague though
