They probably couldn’t even find a shipper to deal with all that shit for such a small print run.

Triple?!? The processing fees are a couple of dollars. It still goes off of percentage of worth. You can literally buy things from other Australian companies right now and pay almost the same price as a year ago.
Other countries have processing fees and they are still shipping to them. All of the EU has had a low thresholds for de minimis for years and people are shipping things to the EU all the time. The EU is considering also removing the threshold completely as well. So companies are going to stop selling to the US and EU? Good luck.
We are talking about a calendar that is supposedly to raise money. Isolating one of the biggest markets on the planet is a decision they are making on purpose not because of the extra fees they would have to charge. Just look at how much they charge to ship to some of the other counties on that list. They are certainly not shy.
I am no going to bog down this thread any longer. Tariffs and MPF two different conversations. I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with their implementation. But let's not be hyperbolic about the direct impact.
