Hey stop motion lovers, if you are in need of a stop motion armature kit, now is the best time to buy. We are bracing for our imported products to get a hefty price increase. Tariffs are a kind of tax on our products. What that means is, when we import items from outside the USA, we will have to pay our government on top of the price that our suppliers charge.
Our most sold items are the Animation Supplies armature kits and ball and socket components. Trump has said he will soon be putting a tariff on the UK from which we import those awesome kits from. Depending on the percent of the tariff, that will be the increased price on our kits. So if a kit cost 100 dollars and Trump imposes a 20% tariff, prices will go up to 120 dollars.
That is why now is the best time to buy if you really need a kit for a school or personal project!
On the bright side, we still have a good amount of stock on hand. I also am going to be adding new types of kits this month from Canada by WhiskeyBones. We got a small batch shipped just before the tariffs were implemented. Here's a sneak peek at just one of them.
The WhiskeyBones will be sold at a low price to start, but once the initial batch sells, those prices sadly will increase 25%. The amount of the tariffs.
It is my hope that price increases will be temporary, but sadly politics is all very unpredictable.
