Tariff and Merchandise Pricing Update

**4/14/2025 Update**
1. This week, we received new inventory, and we’re happy to share that we were only charged a 10% tariff fee—far less than originally expected. To keep your favorite Pokémon merchandise accessible, we’ll be absorbing part of these costs so we can continue offering great products at fantastic prices.

2. In the past, we included all taxes and fees in the listed price to make pricing simple. However, we’ve heard your feedback—starting today, we’re switching to a more transparent pricing model. Going forward, you’ll see merchandise prices and taxes/fees as separate line items at checkout, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

3. The announced tariffs have been suspended for 90 days, and we’re closely monitoring any changes. This situation is still evolving, so we ask for your patience and understanding as we adapt.

Thank you to all of our customers and followers for your continued support. It means the world to us.

------------------------------

On April 2nd, new tariffs were announced by the U.S. government that will significantly impact how we operate our business and price our merchandise.
- Japan: 24% tariff
- China: 54% tariff
- South Korea: 25% tariff

These increases will affect how goods are imported into the U.S., including ours.


Where Our Inventory Comes From
We want to be transparent about where our inventory comes from.
We import toys, plushies, stationery, and figures from Japan and South Korea.
We source raw materials like 3D filament, packaging and shipping supplies, and other essentials from China.
These tariffs directly affect the cost of these items.


What This Means for You
Due to the decisions made by leadership in the U.S. government, we are now reassessing our pricing.
Unfortunately, the cost of merchandise and shipping is rising. FedEx, DHL, and USPS have all announced rate increases.
We are working hard to:
- Find more affordable shipping options
- Source alternative materials
- Keep any price increases as small as possible


Our Commitment to Transparency
We want to be clear.
Our current inventory will remain at its current price.
However, incoming inventory will be held while we assess pricing in light of these new tariffs.
We will always be honest and upfront about any price changes.


Thank You
To all of our friends, customers, and supporters—thank you.
Your continued support helps us weather these challenges.
We remain committed to bringing you the Pokémon merch you love, and we hope for better conditions ahead.
We're staying strong and we’ll get through this together.
