Due to the on again/off again/on again nature of the tariff situation here in the U.S. we hope that you'll be patient with us as we try to navigate through this ridiculous mess.

How it is impacting us & how we are trying to stay in business:

1. Import de minimus: Prior to the current administration all orders/shipments under $800 were not subject to tariffs. Now every shipment from China is subject to the tariff %
2. The % keeps changing so we can't predict which items will be impacted and to what % they will be subjected to when they arrive in port or at our distributors. It's a constant up and down roller coaster at this point. Every business owner is trying to navigate this as best we can.
3. Now that 100% of packages/shipments from China are subject to the tariffs the processing times have drastically increased which means our wait times have increased.

Prices on items that are subject to the tariffs will be going up.

Here is how we are handling this:

• We are ONLY increasing prices on the items that are DIRECTLY impacted by the tariffs.
• We WILL NOT BE price gouging or raising our prices across the board.
• Existing inventory will keep their original prices.

What you will see:

• You will start to see items from the same manufacturer listed for different prices.
• This won't be uniform since the tariff % has been fluctuating drastically in recent months and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
