Not sure how AliEx did it, but I was very happy. Ordered April 30, delivered on May 8, so it was during the peak tariff period.

Good to know. When did it reach US shores?

On one hand, I just had a fairly big-ticket panic buy show up via Fedex and it looks like another one will show up today, so that's cool.

On the other hand, I've heard of Fedex billing for import duties a couple weeks after delivery.

(On yet another hand, the Fedex tracking for both of the relevant packages shows that the package originated/label was printed in Fontana, CA, so maybe I'll squeak by. We shall see.).
