Tariffs real life

Gs ordered a hose set for his HVAC guages for $103.

Merchant canceled order. I immediately looked to see why.

Likely because they are now $125.

No clue which country they are mfd in.

I detest the slob & his grift!

On edit: ordered from Amazon

If the foreign competition's price goes up 25%, why wouldn't the domestic competitor raise their price by maybe 23%?
