    Yes there is an important difference. If you paid customs you paid the terrifs and you get the refund. If you paid UPS, you reimbursed ups for the tarrif they paid to customs, and they get the refund.

    The difference is who gets the refund, that’s the whole thing we’re talking about.

      No, the difference is now you’re admitting customers can get a refund. You initially claimed only corporations could get it. Thanks for coming to my ted talk kid.

      Edit: To quote you on the original comment, you said

      “ Well the companies paid the tarrifs, not the consumers.”

      It is tariffs, first and foremost, and secondly, you have now admitted consumers can get the refund and could have paid the tariff.

      Just stop digging. It’s okay to be wrong some times.

        I did not say consumer can’t get them. If they paid customs they absolutely can get a refund.

        You interpreting “companies paid them”, which is generally true for probably 99.99% of them, as me saying or implying consumers who did pay customs directly can’t get a refund is incorrect.

        That conflation is dunce level reading comprehension.

          How would consumers get tariffs they didn’t pay? You said companies paid the tariffs not the consumers. Now you’re saying consumers can absolutely get refunds even though they didn’t pay them?

          Man you keep moving those goalposts don’t ya.

          I like how you quoted the first part and not the “not the consumers.” Part you clown.

            Where did I say consumers can get refunds they didn’t pay? You’re reading comprehension is bad, I’m realizing I’m arguing with the uneducated and its a waste of time.

              You

              “ Well the companies paid the tarrifs, not the consumers.” (You saying consumers didn’t pay the tariffs)

              Also you

              “I did not say consumer can’t get them. If they paid customs they absolutely can get a refund.”

              So now you’re saying companies and consumers paid the tariffs? Funny you still can’t grasp how tariff is spelled but you want to use reading comprehension as an insult. Good job copying and pasting the regular insult you see in your replies.

              Because by your claims, consumers didn’t pay tariffs but they can absolutely get refunds for paying them. You should work on your reading comprehension and you would see how stupid you are. Clown

                Again, the companies paid the vast majority, 99.99% plus. Very few regular people wrote checks to customs. Most tarrifs were paid by Amazon and Walmart and other companies importing the things to sell. If you paid them you do get a refund. But you didn’t pay them. Did you write any checks to customs? Do you know anyone who did?

                This is getting pathetic. I’m sorry you’re so stupid, and how hard that must make life for you.

                  Oh now it is they paid the vast majority? Nice statistic you pulled from your ass though. I actually did pay to customs, you thought that was a gotcha? You might be the dumbest clown to walk this planet. You just keep moving the goalpost hoping nobody notices. Hell, I even quoted you and you still can’t catch your stupidity. Or maybe you did and that is why you only quote the first half of your statement.

                  So consumers can get refunds? Super weird, your original statement was that consumers didn’t pay tariffs. So how would they get refunds if YOU said consumers didn’t pay them?

                  You’re a literal waste of life. Kick the bucket and nobody will care or notice.
