I wanted to chat about a few things, and to share a very exciting update! All pins and plush are finished manufacturing, and are on their way to our warehouse! Before we get into the heavy topic, I wanted to share some exciting photos from our manufacturer:
Plush!!!!
As for plush, manufacturing is also done on those, and they are on their way as well. They've had their safety certification completed, and now have tags! Here is what those tags look like:
Tariffs
Ok. Let's talk about the elephant that is currently stampeding through the china shop(pun not intended, but I'll keep it in anyway).
As you may have heard, the escalating trade war that is being perpetuated by a certain President of the United States has lead to astronomical tariffs being imposed on US companies purchasing from foreign manufacturers, specifically China.
As all of our manufacturing is done in China, this will take a huge toll on our business going forward. As of now, we are doing everything we can to lessen the impact, and will be absorbing all costs that this will impose. You WILL NOT have to pay extra for the pins that you already paid for. That being said, this situation is evolving day by day, and there remains a slim possibility that I will not be able to shoulder these costs myself. I'm trying my best, but this is certainly taking a significant toll on my business.
I hope you're staying healthy and well, and I will talk to you all again when there is more information.
