Well, it finally happened. Today we received our first restock of products affected by tariffs, ranging from price increases of 25% to 50%.
The recent increase in import tariffs has rapidly affected the wholesale costs of many products coming into the store. This, in turn, has resulted in a tariff surcharge being added to certain products when we buy them from our distributors. So far, the most affected categories we’ve seen are:
- Board & Card Games
- Collectible Card Game Accessories (especially deck boxes, playmats, and binders)
- Ultra Pro
- BCW Supplies
- Ultimate Guard
- Dice & Roleplaying Game Accessories
We hope products with tariffs on them will have these tariffs removed shortly, but until then you’ll see stickers on some of our products at Total Escape Games that say, “this product costs $XX more due to tariffs.”
Any item that’s had a price increase because of tariffs will have this extra sticker, so you can better understand why some of your favorite products are now more expensive.
We appreciate your patience while we, and our publishing partners, work to navigate these tricky times. As always, thank you for your continued loyalty to Total Escape Games, and we look forward to seeing you soon.
