Project Update: Tariff Updates
I'm not happy, to say the least...
With the remaining pins that still need to finish manufacturing and the 145%-245% tariff that's in place, $2000-$2800 for manufacturing is clearly above what has been raised by you wonderful backers and what I can feasibly pay for out of pocket. This hurts all small businesses and we're trying to do what we can here. I was given the option to add a tariff fee to the incomplete pins, but I don't want everyone to pay more for an issue that is not in your control or mine.
Pin production is on hold and therefore NO ORDERS WILL BE FULFILLED until these tariffs are removed, reduced, or something changes.
I spent some time coming to this decision over everything that is going on right now. I'm working on going to a different sticker manufacturer after my go-to sticker manu refuses to refund me for the ordered stickers, nor produce my stickers. There's always something...
I wish it weren't all bad news.
