It must be nice being a chud, because you can just be brain dead and never having to actually think. frothingfash

The most likely turn of events this describes:

  • American businesses place an order and pay for it.

  • Goods placed in container by seller.

  • Buyer realizes tariffs make the order too expensive and tries to cancel it.

  • Seller agrees to a partial refund.

  • Seller believes return shipping will be more expense than it's worth and says they don't want it back.

  • Ship does similar calculus and dumps it.

These aren't temu or aliexpress orders going to consumers. Those get shipped by plane or from a local warehouse.

Thankfully I don't think they're just being dumped, just diverted

Well that's good! There are actual low-value items (cheap plastic toys, for example) that aren't worth shipping back to the seller but it's not a bad outcome if they got resold on the cheap to a poorer country.
