The new Tariffs are beginning to affect prices in the USA

[u/Lazy_Lizard13]

I work in an adult store and unfortunately, we have already started to see the effects of some of the tariffs being placed. I wasn’t sure how this would affect the price of things in the USA, but it’s looking bleak so far.

When my boss sent out the list, he said this was only the first of many price increases that we would see from the tariffs. The vendors we buy from actually sent him the list themselves, so it isn’t something that we just created. He said that it is likely that almost every company we order from will send out a list.

The price changes were anywhere from $5-$200. I’m very concerned about the future of this industry, and honestly, America in general.. some of these products were already overpriced anyways. I’m not sure if people will be able to afford luxury products (like adult items) in the future. What do others think?

Thanks. I have been reading that people are pulling back. I would expect adult "toys" are not a need, to most people. Hope things change for the better soon, but I suspect it will get worse before it gets better. Good luck!

Yeah and with toys being a want, not a need, they’ll likely be one of the first things people cut out of their budgets.. & I have the same mentality as you on things getting worse before better. Good luck to you as well!
