Ok... we know two things to be true:
1- Blue Lug is a solid outfit. I've yet to see any systemic issue or problems with them.
Fair prices. Fast service.
2 - Everything imported into the US since the declaration has been impacted by tariff fees. If you are unaware of this, please research the topic.
Unfortunately, there is no way to change the subject line on a thread in this system. While I almost pulled the original thread back in May 2025 when it occurred, I had other irons in the fire and did not act quickly enough. There's now a fair amount of experiences recounted in that thread, so I am loathe to delete it now.
On the other hand, a number of group members have accurately pointed out the headline in that thread is highly misleading. As much as I want to believe that all the members of this group take the time necessary to read beyond a subject line, I also know that all of us have fires and irons going as well.
As I mentioned in the subject line, the first line in the initial "Beware Blue Lug" post states "...my last issue with ordering from Blue Lug _WASN'T_ with them, but with FedEx..." (emphasis added).
Since folks are still commenting on that original thread and will continue to do so, I'm not sure what the answer is.
I'm a bit worried that a well-meaning new thread about tariff fees might digress into other, off-topic conversations. But if folks wanted to share what kind of additional taxes they are seeing on RBW products being shipped into the US from overseas sources, that would fall within the purview of this virtual gathering.
