@thecatpyewacket @beyond_ARMY_ I just tried to check out to test your theory, it still says purchaser is responsible for customs and duty

@beyond_ARMY_ My understanding is that Weverse is paying all those fees & tariffs so they don’t stop at customs for more. On mine, DHL fees were as much as the tariff 💔

Audio Technica/BTS $ mathematics pricing -- using the same logic as the SWIM jacket:
The U.S. price already seems to include the cost of getting the item to the U.S. — tariff/import/shipping-related costs.
HYBE/Weverse getting the item to the U.S. — built into the U.S. retail price.
Weverse shipping it from the U.S. warehouse to ARMY — added again at checkout.
🌐🌐🌐 Turntable:
KOREA/GLOBAL
$279 USD
US
$420 USD
= $141 difference in retail
$279 + 25% U.S. tariff
= $348.75
$420 - $348.75
= $71.25 left over **
So even with the higher tariff estimate, there’s still about $71.25 built into the U.S. price.
And then Weverse still adds shipping to ARMY at checkout.
= $$$ ❌
🌐🌐🌐 Bluetooth Headphones:
KOREA/GLOBAL
$159 USD
US
$230 USD
= $71 difference in retail
$159 + 25% U.S. tariff
= $198.75
$230 - $198.75
= $31.25 left over **
So even with the higher tariff estimate, there’s still about $31.25 built into the U.S. price.
And then Weverse still adds shipping to ARMY at checkout.
= $$$ ❌
** That leftover amount may represent the added cost of getting the item into the U.S. sales channel — import freight, customs handling, warehouse/fulfillment costs, packaging, and/or pricing buffer.
Then, Weverse still charges ARMY shipping again at checkout. That's the math estimate.

I really want the 🌊 SWIM version of the jacket. It’s really cute. Was thinking about the costs... The $145 U.S. price already seems to cover Korea-to-U.S. costs. The extra upcharge is the U.S. shipping fee Weverse adds at checkout. So basically, ARMY is paying for shipping twice: 1. HYBE/Weverse getting the jacket from Korea to the U.S. — built into the $145 retail price. 2. Weverse shipping it to ARMY — added again at checkout. 🌐🌐🌐 Retail: 🌊 SWIM lighter colour ₩117,273 = $82.09 USD 🔵 DIVE darker colour $145 USD = $63 difference in retail 🌐🌐🌐 Retail + Shipping: 🌊 SWIM, if shipping to the USA: ₩117,273 + 25% U.S. tariff (-going with the higher tariff-) = $102.61 USD estimated shipping charge air mail International Economy, 5–7 business days $25–$45, depending on weight, box size, etc., from supplier to Weverse per item ↓ If we choose the more expensive shipping estimate: $102.61 + $45 = $147.61 USD, PER ITEM = 🔵 DIVE cost ✅ ✈️ Weverse tacks on shipping to ARMY at checkout = $$$ ❌ Someone check my math and inferences, is this a correct scenario?
