Wow, interesting to see after GN’s tariffs video.

    Dude no one is going to pay to bring over a case that was $129 last week, and put it on the shelf for $200, with a line item.

    Just moving product costs money, and the margins for small producers are under 10% already.

      That’s funny. I forgot people shop in person from shelves. I buy pretty much everything online.

        Even that has to come into the country and sit in a warehouse. Shipping a single case over from a warehouse overseas would be astronomically expensive.

          Yeah, I guess I was thinking of the purchases I’ve made where they’re clearly shipped directly from China (tracking shows shopping steps in China). I figure those they wait until enough are ready to shop, group them together, and then send them along.

          I really wasn’t thinking of the big picture.

        The warehouses in the US you buy from online still have shelves. Many more than your local store in fact.
