I saw this today. Rob is a class act and I wish LV well as they navigate through this tariff forest. I still can't make any sense of why in the world Canada is now deemed to be an adversary of the US. I'll continue to support LV with my business, happily.
We live in interesting times.
No doubt you are aware of some of the recent changes in global duty rates. Some changed as recently as today and are probably subject to future changes as well.
With an integrated North American supply chain, we stock and receive goods in both Canada and the USA and may ship from whichever location gets your goods to you the fastest.
Today, the trade climate makes it virtually impossible to determine the real current or future delivered costs of many goods. Prices are unstable and will apparently remain so for some time.
You can be confident that we will continuously work in your interest to keep all costs as low as possible. This may mean some products will become unavailable in the short term, as we do not want to “lock in” high duty rates. At the same time, every business will have to pass on costs as they incur them, and orders placed months ago under different conditions are arriving now. In addition to duty changes, we are receiving significant vendor price increases every day.
It seems that not that long ago we were able to print prices in a catalog and hold them for a full year; today, they age out before the press stops running.
No matter what the future brings, rest assured we always have your interests in mind. Keep hanging in there – the ride has to come to an end sometime!
Cheers,
Robin Lee
