InArt: The Lord of the Rings - Legolas 1:6

I noticed that items on Kit are 10% higher when I log in now. I guess that may apply to the balance on Legolas, pricy figure may have just become even pricier.

It's because of the tariffs. He has updates on his Facebook page if you are in his group

Yeah, figured as much. Just wasn't sure how Kit would handle balances.

Sounds like the tariffs will potentially be on orders from everywhere soon. Have a large order with PopCultcha too.

I'm mostly worried about shipping going wrong with expensive custom runs, items getting held up or lost or whatever.

If Kit raises the balance remaining amounts on already processed preorders, he should offer to refund the NRD to anyone wanting to cancel.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but when you preorder from him, he always gives you an amount remaining for an item after the NRD is applied. It would be unfair to raise the price without giving the option to cancel without a penalty.

Sounds like from another poster that he plans to honor the original pre-order price. But in fairness to Kit, a government imposing this kind of fee isn't exactly something that a business can anticipate during pre-order stage, and I agree it doesn't seem fair he should have to eat the cost. I would still keep my order if he had to pass it on to buyers.

Kit wouldn’t be raising prices because he feels like it. He’d be raising prices because the government decided to screw with the economy and now everyone needs to pay more for things. He’s got a business to run and a family to feed. You agree to the NRD when you pre-order and he shouldn’t have to give that back under any circumstance.

Wait so is Kits response to US buyers having to pay an additional 10% to simply raise prices across his site for everyone by 10%?

If so, bye.

This was posted elsewhere. I believe the 10% is no longer being considered.

Just if you're US. When I'm not logged in it shows the standard price and then when I'm logged in and the site sees I'm from the U.S. the prices goes up 10%.

The opposite happens for me on PopCultcha for example as I'm not subject to their local taxes

Yeah, Im British and have ZERO intention of paying for Trumps tarrifs, if that means using someone else then its gonna be a bittersweet farewell to Kit.

I do hope its just for the US, not right to put the extra price on all his customers.

 

[TonTon]

Or maybe it's just a 10% TonTon tax unrelated to the tariffs

Cool.
Seems like there’s still a whole lot of confusion around what’s actually happening and how to manage it, so I guess it’ll take a little while for the dust to settle.

Not to be a douche but I wouldn’t support Kit making the rest of the world subsidise US collectors. It’s expensive enough just being English.

Brexit was a similar situation where the entirety of the EU was suddenly no longer a viable shopping or selling option due to all the additional fees.
