Similar to a post we did in 2020 talking about tariff impacts, several recent shipments got hit with an additional 10% tariff. We knew this was likely to come and we purchased more inventory than usual last year to shield customers from the future price increase, but it appears that buffer has been consumed and now getting hit with additional costs. We will continue to shield customers when and where we can, but be aware prices will likely increase soon.
Update 2025-04-18: Last few weeks have seen various tariff changes. And of course we had an import that got hit with a 25% tariff. Pricing adjustments to continue. Because of the dynamic environment on tariffs, we are no longer offering backorders since we can’t guarantee the price anymore.
