More store news: tariffs
Since most of our inventory is imported from Sweden, we are being subjected to the rising tariffs and victims of the growing trade war. We have already seen prices, shipping costs, and import fees rising in multiple ways. With this volatility, prices could go up with each reorder. Please touch base with any questions or concerns. Buy now to avoid increased prices in the future.
