People in all industries genuinely suck at dealing with shipping costs, they ignore it until it's too late, figure they'll get it sorted later, expect it to be comped, don't budget for it. It's a constant pain in my ass.
Even if you have a contract with a shipping company like Maersk for a fixed rate, they can alter it as they wish. I witnessed it multiple times during the last 4 years
I've had stuff on the water change shipping price 4 times before it actually landed. Shits a nightmare. Are the tariffs annoying me personaly? Yes, but fuck if they dont give me leverage with my team to not ship from Asia which I will gladly take
