I don’t really think so? Fortunately we don’t manufacture the products I sell in China so now that the storm has calmed it’s ok at work.

I don’t really purchase products often though, aside from food and drink.

I get it, we normally make a long weekend of things too. Fun friend time, exploring a new place, may as well if you’re making the trip.

I have not had to get pricing on any industrial items since the tariffs took effect, so not from that angle. I probably will in the near future and will report back.

Personally on the consumer side, no I have not.

Industrial items have seen a halt in production until it's all sorted out so yes in that regard.
The day to day items not so much, other than a few items here and there.
Overall not much of an impact so far. TBD.

Care to reshare the story, for DFD histories' sake? Also, who was responsible for the :lolol: digital manipulation of the pic? Was it Zil-dor? It still makes me literally :lol: .

I surprisingly have not until two days ago and then full on sticker shock and :disgust:
I mean it's quite focused on shit that is directly from CHYNA and I frankly don't buy THAT much from there... maybe $100 a month average. Unless it's a big ticket item like a TV/Bike etc which I have not yet done this year.

We have seen EU markets hold off on selling products to the U.S. mostly. China seems to be doing business as usual for the most part.

Be sure to go to Angelo’s. You can call ahead if you are lucky enough to get them on the phone.
