Current Tayda fees after new tariff?

[HamishR]

Oh god - don't remind me! Yeah, Scomo was right up there in the moronic stakes...

You can tell they are bored from a lack of orders at Tayda. My custom drilled enclosures are shipping same day, last time only an hour after ordering. They are currently beating any domestic supplier to my door by days.

Shipping is still fine to Japan. But, I suspect prices will only go up on everything soon with the Strait of Hormuz being blocked for the time being. What a damn mess.

Prices will not come down again. Number only go up

this. it's the new baseline. even if/when tarrifs stop shipping prices will just be higher because they can be and they know people will just pay it.

Is that the case though? It seems like a lot of people here have stopped shopping at Tayda due to the high shipping prices and uncertainty of tariffs. If their shipping costs do go back down for them, will the extra revenue from inflated shipping prices really level out the lost business from a large chunk of regular customers not buying anymore?

I'm not talking about tayda exclusivley. Carriers like dhl and UPS, fedex and all the other ones set the rates based on various factors. And just like the gas stations, when one raises prices, the others do. I haven't seen shipping prices go down once in the past 25-30 years that I've been shipping/buying things. If the cost to operate is higher for the carriers, they will also pass that burden on to the consumer. once people get used to the new prices thats the new baseline. The tariffs may go away but I doubt the shipping prices will drop drastically. Only those extra fees will stop.

As for tayda, they are just fine. Lots of people are still doing business there as usual, just us broke people have paused.

I'm getting ready to do another Tayda order as well. My past two orders have been from Mouser, where I try to sort thru the components to find ones with no/low tariff. It's a lot easier to just order from Tayda though. Depending on the component and how much quantity I need Tayda is still cheaper even with the Tariffs.

Also, there's a new tariff in place that is set at 10%, which is lower than the previous rate. I spec'd out some resistors and capacitors and my shipping rate was only $17, when it had been $35 before. There is also an additional 25% tariff on semi conductors, but I don't really like to buy transistors and ICs from Tayda due to their comparatively small selection.

Prices will not come down again.

This is a more general thing in our society too.

Number only go up. Number never go down. $$&

I was thinking of waiting to make a big tayda buy at the end of the month. A week ago (I'm in Canada) the shipping w/dutiestax option went up $1. Today it's up another approx $3.50. Made the big order today.

I usually buy pcb's here n there willy nilly then buy a bunch of parts. I think I'll be be buying boards 1 or 2 at a time and parts just for them, or full kits from vendors.

I just placed an order for a big ish restock. I wanted to compare the cost of shipping/tariffs with and without semiconductors. I went through and picked out about $20 of resistors and capacitors and my shipping came out to $21. I then added the op amps, transistors, and diodes I need and my subtotal came up to $45, while shipping only increased to $25.

I'm okay with that. It's better than it was before. A few months ago the shipping cost would have been in the high 30's for this dollar amount.

 

[Diynot]

Placed a $162 order yesterday (resistors, caps, pots, boxes, a few NE555s, the works. Cost to ship DHL express was $48. Still worth it for ease of finding what I need vs mouser even though I still have to order a few things through them.

 

[Rpschultz13]

Tayda Yesterday - DHL:


Not terrible, but a far cry from what used to be $20-25 to ship a larger order like this.

It won't matter when the world's oil supply is all on fire in another week or two and China decides to go ahead and take Taiwan because rules and norms don't exist anymore and the west is trying to extinguish the flames from agent orange's pedo-disttraction to prevent a world wide recession that will only expidite the adoption of AI to replace human workers and drive the world into a crumbling depression. Rolling blackouts to keep the data centers humming will soon follow.
Sorry. Sh*t's depressing

damn 3 week lead time for tayda enclosures gonna be up to 4 weeks smh

 

[Vild]

I placed my order on the 1st and it finally shipped on the 18th. They said there would be an 8 to 10 day wait because their orders for painted enclosures were backed up at the time so I knew it would take awhile but at least it's on the way now. They said they had some problems with their lawn green color.

 

[OD is Glorious]

That tariff is high and now cost prohibitive.

The real problem is if enough people keep paying these tariffs, then you could be right. The U.S. government will think we’re complacent, won’t ever bring the exemption back and just keep raking in the cash. And on the other hand….if we stop buying and don’t pay the tariff, they’ll say “it’s working” and keep it in place. lol. We’re kind of in a no-win situation.

Guess we’ll have to wait and see.

As a recent joiner of this hobby, I've heard lots of good things about Tayda but I've never ordered from them because the shipping and tariffs have been astronomical. I'm bummed I missed out on it before things went sideways, especially because they have the best range of colors for enclosures that I've found so far.

 

[Guardians of the analog]

Most actual shipping rates (no tariff included) that I’ve seen are still pretty much the same as before the tariff charges. The shipping rates don’t really have to “drop drastically” if the tariff is removed because they’re separate from the tariff charge. The added tariff and associated fees are what’s making the shipping so expensive. If *somehow* the de mimimis exemption is ever put back into place, then shipping costs shouldn’t fluctuate any more than they did before tariffs.

If they’re ever removed I don’t see shipping companies all of a sudden saying “let’s double our shipping rates now so it’ll equal out to the previous cost with the tariff.” That would be a terrible business move and make every customer feel like they’re being completely ripped off when they know the tariff is gone and that the two charges are separate from each other. Or even Tayda trying to keep their tariff shipping rates the same and pretend like they’re still paying DHL our fee. Really bad for business, and Tayda is most certainly feeling it. Not nearly enough to implode the company but enough for them to know that the extra tariff is costing them ALOT of money in lost business. How fast they ship tells you how busy they are and it’s only gotten quicker and quicker since this started. Most of these companies are sick of it the same way we are. They’re not profiting off any of the tariffs, it’s making things a little more complicated, and they’re losing business. Most just want to provide cheap shipping to increase orders and make as much money as possible on the product itself.

I think some of what I was trying to say was out of context and worded poorly. In the end I think I was just trying to say that prices usually don't go down, for one reason or another. I don't think tarrifs will be forever but I think that shipping rates will ultimately increase for some reason.

The one thing I really like about tayda is the parts selection and ease of use to order parts that are more or less tailored to pedal builders. I may just bite to bullet and do a restock on caps/resistors/sockets and other essentials.
