Companies should just add a line on each product page listing tariff amount. Keep selling the products, have consumers cover the extra cost as Donald intended, and make sure he gets all the credit.
Gamers nexus did a video interviewing Hyte specifically. They made the assessment that people just wouldn't buy their stuff for the prices they'd have to list it at to be sustainable.
So let the buyers decide. Don’t just cease sales.
Dude no one is going to pay to bring over a case that was $129 last week, and put it on the shelf for $200, with a line item.
Just moving product costs money, and the margins for small producers are under 10% already.
That’s funny. I forgot people shop in person from shelves. I buy pretty much everything online.
The warehouses in the US you buy from online still have shelves. Many more than your local store in fact.
Even that has to come into the country and sit in a warehouse. Shipping a single case over from a warehouse overseas would be astronomically expensive.
Yeah, I guess I was thinking of the purchases I’ve made where they’re clearly shipped directly from China (tracking shows shopping steps in China). I figure those they wait until enough are ready to shop, group them together, and then send them along.
I really wasn’t thinking of the big picture.
