  1. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    Any examples? I hear this over and over again from the right leaning people, and when proof gets posted it just gets ignored. Find one thing I said that is just a rumor, or heck, I'll even give you just a half truth.
  2. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    America has tarrifs on products as well. Every country does... Whether there's free trade or not, to protect interests. You guys have thrown lumber on tarrifs quite a bit.... On aluminum / steel, I believe wheat... And even one point milk, but I don't know if the milk one was a threat or not...
  3. Graphtec FC9000, not able to cut a 0.75" long octagon,

    Does it do the same thing if you increase the size 500% to make it a couple inch sticker? That'd tell you if it's a machine issue or if maybe your cut file has something wonky going on with it.
  4. Reflective Pricing

    I want to love where you live.... Even using traffic certified products, we can't go higher than $5 a sqft for reflective traffic signs on .081 aluminum. We get a bit more for ACM / non traffic people... But still under $10-12 a foot.
  5. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    Have you met kyle yet? he was our sales rep... WPG poached him and he's the ND branch manager there now :roflmao: He's usually pretty good at prodding for info! I know Canada does make PVC products... But a lot of ingredients go into vinyl fabrication - The good news is if 1 part is sourced...
  6. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    We buy direct from 3M, and our rep briefed us on the tariff situation. Commercial products and certain reflectives (Glass beads) are being affected by the tarrifs, but traffic reflectives are not, as 3M is eating the increase on traffic... My guess is because even though they have a force...

    Guys, less cow and butter talk, you're making S101 send me cow porn ads.
  8. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    Duties work that way sometimes, but tarrifsare quite a bit different. Anything that is going through America, or produced in America has tarrifs on it. All 3m vinyl is increasing, all Avery vinyl... Pretty much every single product not 100% made in USA is getting a tarrif in some way or the...
  9. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    :roflmao: Looks like threads back on topic now! Interesting to know what you guys think now - I don't know if Epson ink will be a full 25% increase .. but either way, the price is going up.... Which means everyone Who uses Epson's ink will be paying more, and then you'll pass the cost onto...
  10. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    Nd can get Epson ink in. They don't stock it so ce they're not an official official dealer... But our local nd offered to bring it in and stock it for us because they wanted to steal the business away from grimco.
  11. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    Try. Ndgraphics... They're a Canadian company so maybe they buy direct, bypass the American tax. I'm sure Grimco gets their stuff from USA, 1 supply chain and all.
  12. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    Huh.... I didn't know USA was such a big rice producer. The only USA rice Ive ever heard of is uncle Ben's minute rice :roflmao: Which i grew up on and love... But it feels like the fast food of rice once you've had good rice. Kukuho rose rice from Japan is some of the best rice Ive ever...
  13. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    I don't think so. It seems like car parts are still tarrifed... And anything not under usmca has a 10% tarrif on it. I think he was "easy" on Canada and Mexico because he got into quite a bit of shit tarrifng a country he has a trade deal with, completely ignoring the trade deal. He used...
  14. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    Looks like I spoke to soon. Usmca is being honored, but still tarrifs on non goods specified in usmca... Still dumb, but at least he's following the trade deal he himself negotiated. This is wild though. Tarrifs on so many countries, and so many goods.... 10% on every single country at...
  15. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    If 3m vinyl costs us more, well increase our prices and the customer will pay... Not us, right? So can we really blame 3m for raising their prices when it costs them more as well? That's the thing.... A lot of people expect the companies to pay the tarrifs, which in return makes it cheaper...
  16. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    I've been told 3m vinyl is going up in price... Even though Canada is "exempt" from the new round of tarrifs, a lot of the raw materials used to isn't sourced in USA. It's not a huge 25% price, and 3m is calling it good news since it isn't a 25% on everything tarrif.... But stuff will cost 3m...
  17. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    Have to protect that American rice! All kidding aside, I know most Asians hate uncle Ben's minute rice, but I grew up on it and loved it
  18. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    Seems like 99% of products you guys import now has a tarrif.... So I imagine you're going to see pricing increase on almost everything by quite a bit.
  19. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    So why has nothing happened? She wasn't pardoned, so if she did something illegal that they can prove, can't trump assemble a special team and Investigate her? If losing the election is nothing... Too bad nothing didn't happen to trump last election!
  20. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    Is the 2020 incident the Portland downtown one? Not too familiar with it.... I was pretty surprised more people didn't get arrested for the Portland incident... It was crazy seeing it on the news without much being done to squash it. Peaceful protesting is one thing, but what they did was...
