Timeline: I want to apologise to everyone for the constant delays...
With the 145% increase in tariffs, I've been paralyzed with what my next actions should be. Other artists and my manufacturers have mentioned sea ddp. Sea ddp is a form of shipping where all the fees, customs, tax, and other costs have been paid for ahead of time, but that doesn't mean the shipping would considered reasonable costs and any issues would be paid out-of-pocket since insurance will most likely cover a minimal amount. There are pros and cons, so I was thinking about waiting for better news.... However, it would not be fair for all of you. I decided that since it will take a couple of months to produce the products, the current tariff situation might change for the better.
I will be proceeding forward with the production and be submitting the surveys to everyone.
