MAGA media figures quickly joined in with White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt’s attack on Amazon amid initial reporting that the online retailer would display tariff price increases for customers on its website. Some encouraged using alternatives to Amazon, some celebrated a dip in its stock price, and others complained that the retailer didn’t similarly flag price changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic-related surge in the inflation rate. Previous reporting has shown that after President Donald Trump announced his tariffs, there was an average price increase of 29% for hundreds of products on Amazon and that the retailer was losing sellers for its July Prime Day event due to the tariffs. After the news drew criticism, Amazon said in a statement to The Washington Post that this policy had been a consideration only for its lower-cost Amazon Haul website, not for its main website. CNN additionally reported that Trump called Amazon founder Jeff Bezos to complain about the idea.

The Trump administration attacked Amazon over report that it would display tax increases from Trump’s tariffs

Punchbowl News: “Amazon to display tariff costs for consumers.” Punchbowl News reported: “Amazon doesn’t want to shoulder the blame for the cost of President Donald Trump’s trade war. So the e-commerce giant will soon show how much Trump’s tariffs are adding to the price of each product, according to a person familiar with the plan. The shopping site will display how much of an item’s cost is derived from tariffs – right next to the product’s total listed price.” [Punchbowl News, 4/29/25]

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt: “This is a hostile and political act by Amazon.” Leavitt was responding to a reporter asking during a press briefing about the Amazon policy and whether it’s a “crystal clear demonstration that it’s the American consumer, and not China, who is going to have to pay for” Trump’s tariffs. Leavitt added: “Why didn’t Amazon do this when the Biden administration hiked inflation to the highest level in 40 years?” [CNBC, 4/29/25]

After Leavitt criticized the news, an Amazon spokesperson told The Washington Post that “this was never a consideration for the main Amazon site and nothing has been implemented on any Amazon properties.” The statement also said: “The team that runs our ultra-low-cost Amazon Haul store has considered listing import charges on certain products.” Further reporting from CNN stated that “the contemplated change to Amazon Haul was driven by the Trump administration getting rid of the ‘de minimis exemption,’ which allowed packages valued at less than $800 to enter the United States tariff-free.” [The Washington Post, 4/29/25; CNN, 4/29/25]

CNN reported that Trump called Amazon founder Jeff Bezos to complain about the proposal to display tariff price increases. According to CNN, Amazon released its statement on the policy following the president’s call, and Amazon added: “This was never approved and not going to happen.” [CNN, 4/29/25]

money talks.

and so does where you spend it.

if you knowingly spend your money at a company that underpays, exploits their workers, dumps millions of tonnes of carbon into the air, and purposefully creates waste, that says a lot about you.

buy second hand, shop local. wear the clothes you have. having fashionable clothing IS A LUXURY. absolutely none of your wants entitle you to fund the exploitation of workers, and the destruction of our climate.

Exclusive Amazon Haul Must-Haves 2024

[mrfunnyai]

Amazon Tariffs Display Sparks Political Uproar Amid Rising Costs

In a bold move that’s stirring headlines across the U.S., Amazon tariffs, Amazon haul pricing, and the company’s transparency plans have become the latest political flashpoint. Amid concerns over rising Amazon tariff prices, the retail giant reportedly considered a strategy to display tariff-related costs directly on product listings. This idea, now known as the Amazon tariffs display plan, quickly caught national attention—and backlash.

Amazon, Jeff Bezos’ powerhouse, was said to be exploring this feature for its discount platform Amazon Haul to highlight the effects of tariffs on consumer goods. As Amazon news today continues trending, this proposed feature—showing Amazon tariff cost reports, Amazon tariff pricing, and other detailed costs—sparked a sharp political reaction, especially from the Trump camp.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt condemned the move as “political interference” and an effort to shift blame to U.S. trade policies. In response, President Trump allegedly reached out to Bezos personally, leading to a reversal. The Amazon announcement today stated clearly: there will be no such feature rollout on any platform.

Fuck Jeff Bezos

Nice Haul

I really should have been keeping score. Each semester is different over here in The Daily Blog, completely dependent upon what is happening at the time. Every semester brings with it a new array of topics, new products, bankruptcies, and the like.

But each semester always has a handful of companies that are repeat offenders, appearing in this place multiple times, sometimes even only days apart. Why, you ask? Simple. When you are a large global company, the kind that can often find you referred to as the elephant in the room, every move you make gets people’s attention.

With further ado, let us return to Amazon, the company we just hit on for its Alexa+ coming in a few weeks. Now they are digging in their heals with Amazon Haul, an alternative to Temu and Shein they launched late last year. Essentially, it is thousands of products at rock bottom prices offered by affiliates in China, who then do all of the order fulfillment. Your package arrives in 10-14 days. Amazon facilitates the order and keeps a portion of the revenue, while letting the small Chinese firm keep the rest.

Margins are thin, as you might suspect. Late last fall I ordered a couple of long-sleeve base layer shirts, not so much because I needed them, but because I wanted to see how this new service works. I got two shirts for $25, which pushed me over the free shipping hurdle. Can you imagine this? Two shirts sent from China, and all for only $25? Yeah. Impressive.

So that’s the idea, and now Amazon is eyeing a global rollout of it. Tariffs and all that be damned, it’s full steam ahead. Temu and Shein, you better watch out.

Shein is perhaps the biggest vendor of fast fashion, while Temu toils more in the trinkets and gadgets of life in addition to clothing. Amazon Haul is taking them both on. It’s almost like the Yankees telling the Dodgers and Red Sox to bring their A-game for a big three-way World Series.

Of course, the old adage about getting what you pay for applies here. Fast fashion by design has a self-destruct feature built in, whether it is the mere fact that the winds of fashion change frequently, or by virtue of not making it past a couple of cycles through the washer and dryer. It’s almost like renting your clothes, but at least you will be at the pinnacle of current fashion.

As for my base layers, they’re OK. Not great. I prefer the good ones I bought at REI, which, in all honesty, also came from Asia. I’ll likely have to retire the Amazon Haul ones once it warms up for good.

But there is another little issue I had happen to me back in January. Although I cannot definitively establish cause and effect, in my mind, the unknown clothing manufacturer in China who fulfilled my order may very well have used my name and address for what is called the brushing scam. My order arrived with Amazon labeling, not the manufacturer, so I really don’t know much about the firm unless I were to drill back through my orders to find the item on Amazon, and possibly click through or search online. I don’t have time for that.

Here’s what happened. I started receiving unsolicited plastic envelopes at my residence, the kind that eBayers often use for sending small items they sell. One envelope contained a graduation card. One was empty. Two had a small pebble in it, the kind you would use in landscaping. Each one had a return address with an individual person’s name, but that’s it.

While brushing scams usually involve bad people finding your address online, and then sending unwanted items, sometimes they send much more than a card or rock. But I know that very few people or entities know my physical address, aside from Amazon. And the timing of the incident was too perfect for my ever analyzing mind.

So what’s in it for the perpetrator? Usually the goal of the brushing scam is to simply send you things as if you had ordered them, and then they write fake online reviews using your name. Yes, someone sent me four items, all using fake sender names and addresses in light industrial parks in and around Los Angeles. I used Google Streetview to confirm this.

They can act as if those were online orders, as in I ordered a pebble. Glowing fake reviews can be used to bolster sales of whatever it is they sell. Once again, I did not bother to look to see if my name is being used with fake reviews. Fortunately for me, they quit sending this stuff after four times. Still, it is bothersome.

Variants of this scam include a QR code that the sender hopes you scan, which can cause all manner of problems if it launches software to take over your phone. Remember, just as in human physical relations, always practice safe scanning. Don’t scan something that you don’t know is safe.

Whether my Amazon Haul caused this is something I will never know. The dark web contains a lot of our information, and I suppose someone could have scraped my name and physical address from some other source, although the way I have my personal name entered at Amazon is among only a few places I have done so.

OK. Take a deep breath, DrG. Nothing bad happened, at least as far as you know. Let’s return to today’s subject.

Amazon must be doing well with their Beta test of Haul, enough so to cause it to expand across the world. There is a market for cheap stuff, especially as we still feel the effects of inflation. Right or wrong—and there is much to discuss on that topic alone—China can deliver the goods for a fraction of the prices we find elsewhere. As for quality and fakes, there is always risk there to be assumed by the buyer.

This is a bold move by Amazon. If they’re doing it, then you know the concept is legit, and Amazon must also be feeling some of the competitive heat Shein and Temu have caused.

As for me, though, I will probably take a pass on this one going forward. While I still cannot prove that one simple transaction caused those annoying envelopes. I’ll stick with things that Amazon fulfills, not some nameless company halfway around the world.

I mean, unless they would be cool with sending a half ton of those pebbles, because I have a landscaping project coming up soon.
