   If buying something (anything - pencils, stickers, gumballs, etc, etc) from Amazon, the process should be preceded by a query to Ask Rufus:

   Ask Rufus: "What is the tariff cost increase for this product?"

   Better yet, do it for products you don't end up buying also...

   "Lost sale? Well maybe this is something we should address?"

   Trend it until you make it.

     @unixjunk1e that story didn’t age well. Amazon just said that they were considering it but decided not to display the tariff cost

     @feld @unixjunk1e there are quite a few retailers doing it. I don’t think Temu has much of a choice due to the dramatic increase of all prices.
