This whole tariff thing has me stressed 😩 I probably will take a break from merch production once I get these pins so I can find alternatives here in the US Thankfully I’ve already got a sticker place lined up and potentially acrylic charms as well that are located here Ugh I hate the orange man - ThreadSky

Once we hit rock bottom…we can only go up. Right? 😭

Good luck, hon; I hope you’re able to find something

d00dleimp.bsky.social•22 days ago

Me too, I need the yogirt plush 😭

Unfortunately pins have to be made elsewhere I’m pretty sure. This is all ridiculous, we’ll make it through

d00dleimp.bsky.social•22 days ago

Yeah pins are going to be the biggest problem 😩 I’m sure we’ll figure it out though

I can’t find an alternative for my acrylics or pins. The companies I did find that were based in Canada the product was still partially made in China. Almost everything that wasn’t paper or vinyl products had some sort of component coming from China.

That horrid orange turd is greed at its worst.

Yeah, sadly any places claiming they make pins in Canada/Europe/USA are lying. They're just a middleman service basically doing the legwork for you and talking to the Alibaba manus and upcharging for it -_-

ORIGINALLY the EPA made it so no where but China can make enamel pins, but given every

thing with the USA signing out of/leaving and pretending the environment is fine who knows.

Everything is a mess. But yeah places like w!zardp!ns and stuff are just a go between.

d00dleimp.bsky.social•22 days ago

Sobs, I hope a solution will come about at some point

radiorave.bsky.social•22 days ago

I just read the shit with China got walked back (for now) I am so tired of the games of chicken 😭

d00dleimp.bsky.social•22 days ago

I know 🙄 like-some people’s livelihoods depend on whatever happens next

d00dleimp.bsky.social•22 days ago

Ugh yeah…it’s going to be rough for awhile 😔 hopefully some good news can come our way

I sure hope so. 2025, so far, has not been the OS I signed up for. It needs a serious patch to remove the Trojan it installed.
