Reply To: First Brexit – now tariffs

using other distributors is kind of how they finally ‘solved’ the Brexit issues …

Heck, it’s how car companies got around similar concepts ages ago. Ship the parts to Europe/USA and do final assembly (or whatever they can get away with) there. You think Coca Cola actually ships bottled cola across the world ? (they don’t)

However it does require these (small/one man) operations work together as they don’t have the scale to do this on their own.

@elessar2590 a ‘loss’ of a discount is still an increase in price for the consumer. It’s very rare for a company to simply eat the costs. A few kickstarters might do this as a ‘reward’ for their backers if they’ve got the funds, but most companies will simply pass the cost to the customer.
