the price they listed in the email was in demominatedocal currency but the "US price", which is hundreds lowe
is this still a legit thing, thought tariffs were ruled illegal or sometjing

Its extra weird cuz it dances around whether it has any effect on it arriving. Its acting like its a precautionary "we just want to get your shit to you on schedule so do your part"

UPS also doesn’t require pre-payment, but they WILL send you a hefty invoice since they do their own customs clearance and charge you for the service.

So does DHL (the last line item). It's not cheaper if you prepay.
