Gamjam shipping into the states shinanigans

Let’s talk about toys and tariffs and the wackadoodleness that is shipping to the states from other lands for a moment.
Right now it’s become a bit more tricky to get stuff into the states because of some gridlock and bonus tariffs. It’s totally possible to ship stuff here now, it’s just a bit wonky. Some stuff gets slapped with a tariff. For example I just paid $17 on a small box coming from Shanghai for Gamjam. Some stuff takes longer or gets rejected, Maruhachi got his box sent back to him, and has already reshipped thru a different carrier, and labeled differently. And some stuff just gets delayed a bit.
How we’ll handle this. We already have sold more RSVP tickets 3 and a half weeks out than we sold in any other previous years. RSVP ticket holders will get first dibs on anything that arrives late. We’ll just send an email when goodies arrive (this is for stuff that arrives after oct 4th) and you’ll have an option to pick up late magic before it goers public.
Anything that we need to pay tariffs on will get passed on when we price the toys.
Three and a half weeks out we already have a nice hunk of goodies already here. Rampage, Unplugworks, Monstock, Headlock, and 1,2,3 are already here. with more expected daily. I’ll keep updating here as more vinyl and art arrive. and don’t forget. Draculazer will be here with a bunch of toys and original art, and there are some baller artists also vending in person this year. Barely Human, Kachina, Secret Handshake, and The Beast is Back are just a few toy specific vendors this year at Gamjam. FUN!
