April 9th Updates
Hello everyone! What an eventful day in the financial world! I wish we had equally exciting news in the hobby community! It has been relatively quiet in the toy soldier, model, and gaming world we live in. Tomorrow, we will be hosting our prerelease event for Magic: The Gathering. Below, we have included the game calendar for April. We had a great turnout at the NETSS Toy Soldier show this past Sunday. Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to its success. Our friend "NH Joe" will be manning the "Mobile Bunker" at the Mayhem Wargaming show this weekend (www.mayhemconvention.com). Below, we will explain the recent changes in shipping and tariffs.
Tariff Update: Over the past month or two, we have been absorbing tariff costs. Moving forward, new toy soldier items and restocks may incur an additional surcharge or experience a price increase without prior notice, or the item may be canceled. We can no longer absorb all of these costs. The Chinese tariffs have reached 125% today.. Consequently, we will have to suspend importing new stock and restocks from China until these tariffs are reduced. Our costs will exceed the retail price. We are not saying we won't be ordering again; we just won't be placing orders at this time. We cannot honor any discounts currently. We have already raised our minimum order amount to $129.99 to qualify for the FREE SHIPPING THRESHOLD. Some items, such as tanks and airplanes, will likely incur an additional "oversize shipping" fee of $9.99. To date, we have paid approximately $5,000.00 in tariffs to date.
Brands that will be heavily affected include John Jenkins Designs, King and Country, Team Miniatures, Expeditionary Force, War Park, and First Legion. Additionally, it could later lead to increases for BMC Toys, Toy Soldiers of San Diego, Paragon, and others.
Our Free Shipping threshold is going up next week. $129.99 will be the new FREE SHIP "magic number" on most items shipments. Many Tanks, Airplanes, Diorama Accessories and large items will still have an "oversize" or shipping surcharge on them. We also ship mostly UPS Ground Savor and USPS Ground Advantage. These typically take 1-6 Days. The good old days with Priority Mail and quick UPS Ground are to costly for us to sustain. You can upgrade to these services if you choose so.
