Gamefold & Tariffs

Gamefold & Tariffs

Dear backers and customers,

We want to take a moment to update you on the current tariff situation and how it is affecting the Gamefold project.

As many of you may know, the United States recently imposed tariffs of up to 145% on goods imported from China. This has more than doubled the original production cost of each table. The impact has been significant across many industries, and like others, we have been directly affected.

We completely understand your concerns and frustrations, and we want you to know that we hear you.

You might be wondering, “What if you had shipped sooner?” It is a fair question. The honest answer is that we chose to address some early design flaws. Not because we were being overly picky, but because we explored several design solutions that required careful testing and verification before moving forward. While this did delay shipping, we strongly believe it was the right decision to ensure quality.

That said, production has not stopped.
We currently have two containers full of Gamefold tables arriving in the US in the next two weeks, with more on the way. International orders are already shipping out, and we are continuing to produce and hold United States orders as we monitor the evolving tariff situation and wait for more stable conditions.

The current tariff situation is frustrating and unpredictable, but we are exploring every possible solution. This includes alternate sourcing, long-term production strategies, and cost management to keep moving forward without compromising the experience you backed.

Thank you for your patience, your support, and your belief in this project. We are doing everything we can to deliver the Gamefold you have been waiting for.

More updates coming soon.

I pitched through the website and get absolutely no notifications that you guys have updated, when I ordered
through the site you guys were advertising a feb delivery fully knowing that you were going to prioritize the KS orders, you misled those of us that purchased through the site. Not inly did I pay for a shipping fee for an item that’s still in your possession but for accessories and the original hprice, close to 1k… refund me now

Hi, thanks for the update. Where are the European orders being shipped to? Any details on which company I should look for sending a tracking information?

Anna

As a Canadian who pre-ordered back in the fall of 2024 what will be the effect if any on my order?

RICHARD

When exactly are we supposed received the merchandise we had purchase?

Not Yarro’s fault there is a tariff tet-a-tet with China. Waiting may lead to even higher tariffs, so I recommend shipping regardless of the 145%. If we have supplement what we have already paid, so be it.
