Just got an email from fleabay, according to them, all small parcels, tracked
parcels, expedited parcels and expresspost are not compliant with the news US
tarriffs. There’s a high risk of those been returned. So those shouldn’t / won’t
be offered and they suggest using UPS and Fedex.

The US market is dead for the foreseeable future…

I've now suspended all shipping to the USA. hopefully in a month or so it
will be back to a new "normal" and I can reactivate it.

PostNL announced today that there will be a temporary stop on all parcels to
the USA starting tomorrow. This will last until there is clarity about the tariff
systems/procedures.

The US market will be just fine. At least for US sellers, selling to US customers.

only in the short term tho, as many of the sellers have to get their product
from outside the USA, it would lead to higher prices for USA buyers, meaning
less sales and "somewhat" more "dead" then it is now even within
the usa.

LEGO and other retailers will be importing plenty of stock into the USA and handling
the tariffs so there will be new sets for resellers to part out. Plus there is
an excess of most parts already anyway.

existing stock will dry up sooner or later, then lego will have to pass on (at
least part) of the price increases to the consumers

Of course. And resellers might want to start thinking about increasing the prices
of their existing stock.

It will be interesting to see what happens to the cost of sets longer term, especially
when they start to package sets in the US.

Almost all of the best stores are outside the US. This hits US Bricklink customers
really hard. Losing PAB is arguably even worse.

Er, I tried on fr-fr when Ziegelmeister posted and it showed… and it still shows
now.

I do stand corrected, not all Standard parts have been removed - but you can't
order them anyway. 6533890 for example is there but I need the Dark Brown 9509391
which is not. But when you "pick" the 6533890 it doesn't add to
your cart.

Yes, you're right. For some reason when I typed lego.com it went to the US
site (en-us) whereas it usually goes to en-gb.

Yes, it does that to me too.  But it’s easier to see the difference between en-us
and fr-fr

(It used to remember the last language you used… but it seems stuck on en-us
these days 🤷‍♂️)

I agree. Sales have already been strong.
