Great read.As dark as it is think about the losses these guys will be looking at when they can't make deliveries for this toy season.Being import dominated,you need to place your orders in January,reconfirm and finalize by end of February so that production can run in March and April.This means shipping (if all goes well) in April and May for June,July receipts (July and August the latest); for retailers have it available for September distribution to their locations.
This is a real FUBAR.
Now think how the export feels when Amazon,Walmart and Target tell them ...find me some room in your pricing or your future on our selves is in jeopardy.To minimize their losses the factory will either curtail production or stick it to these smaller companies.
The side of this is that the importers will be creating a lot of "newness"...That 10 pc.Cookware set at $99.99 is now going to be an 8 pc.set.Or the set contents will get smaller.That 48 oz.blender will now be 32-40 oz. (Depending on what the engineers can figure out.
Lastly, there will be more consideration and that when WE get plugged ! This is when those predators will look to regain their profits but holding the new prices as the tariffs go away.
