Temu and Shein will raise prices for US customers due to Trump's tariffs

I don't understand why they can't just add a line item for tariffs cost and why they can't say the cost of tariffs is being passed on to customers.
Instead they talk about raising the price of goods due to changing global operating costs.
That makes it sound like the price is something they control and the money is going to them. But the money for US tariffs will be going to the US government, not to these companies.

Because they don’t want to piss of trump probably.

First good news to come out of this nonsense

People touting it as good news must really wish we had a regulatory government that cared enough to actually reduce waste by targeting Temu and Shein directly, plus any other fast fashion pedler. Maybe even create rules and regulations regarding consumer goods in general.
I wish we were in that timeline...
Edit: also inb4 Trump cuts exemptions specific to Temu and Shein since he governs with permanent Bizzaro-World rules.

Glad your president is working for you.

Good. Maybe people will quit buying that garbage that just goes in a landfill. That might be the one good thing about the tariffs in a sea of shit.
I‘d say Aliexpress is still one credibility layer above Temu, Shein and wish
Another data point in the same vein: I've picked up loads of great cycling gear from AliExpress for a fraction of what it would have cost me buying it locally. I also picked up a great set of scales for my coffee brewing.
You definitely have to be more careful about what you buy, as the default option on AliExpress is basically to get garbage - at least if you choose cheap stuff - but some very good stuff can be bought there.
