No Tariffs For You!

 

Another Fife and Drum Miniatures order successfully sent to a customer.
(British 16th Dragoons from Fife and Drum Miniatures)

Let me get right to the point: Fife and Drum/Minden is still shipping orders to customers in North American and all over the world during the current uncertainty of new tariffs and administration of the same. We have never stopped shipping products anywhere in the world. And we are not going to be raising our prices.

My Closet O' Lead is chock full of metal inventory that is available and ready to ship immediately.  (my accountant might opine that I have too much inventory). I stocked up on castings well before the current tariff regime came into effect so I see no need to increase my prices.

The point is: Fife and Drum and Minden AWI and SYW products, respectively, are available and there will be no price increases to offset my cost of shipping castings from the UK to the USA.

The current US tariff kerfuffle ( I like this word) or turmoil is very confusing and many countries have announced that they are temporarily suspending all postal shipments to the United States. Since Great Britain is the epicenter of of war game figure manufacturing, this has put many American customers of UK-based companies on edge. When will shipments resume; or will they ever resume?




Presumably this will all shake out as companies and countries figure out how to handle the collection of tariffs that the United States is charging on all imports. Until then, always know that Fife and Drum Miniatures ability to ship orders nearly anywhere in the world is unchanged.

As always, I am grateful for your patronage and support of Fife and Drum Miniatures and Minden Miniatures.

Cheers,

Jim
