Staying Ahead of Tariff Changes & Supply Chain Impacts

Due to the dynamic and rapidly evolving nature of U.S. tariffs and global supply chain conditions, product pricing on our website may not always reflect the most current adjustments or surcharge impacts. We are actively working to update pricing in response to these changes, but final charges may be adjusted at the time of order processing.

This page will be updated regularly to provide the latest information, including supplier updates and actions we're taking to minimize disruption for our customers. We appreciate your understanding.

Our Approach & Commitment

We understand the importance of cost stability and a reliable supply for your business. Here's what we're doing to address potential impacts:

Working closely with suppliers & OEMs to assess how changes may affect product pricing and availability.
Securing additional inventory on key products to buffer against immediate cost fluctuations.
Providing transparency by sharing updates from suppliers and manufacturers as they become available.
Empowering our sales & customer service teams with the latest information to assist you with purchasing decisions.
