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.

So to be clear, if we haven’t received a tracking number we are stuck waiting well beyond the expected delivery?

Maybe you can first ship the tables to Europe while waiting for the US situation to settle down 😅

Hey thanks for the latest Update, we understand all the problems right now and we hope, that you`ll find a good way out of this misery. Alongside im a bit worried now about the payment, do i have to buy the desk now for the double price? Thanks for yout work and greetings.

So does “hold” mean wait and see if the circumstances change, but not shipping any more containers until there’s clarity? How long until the next update / next steps if the situation is unchanged?

Michael

Understand. SO at this point what is the process for us to just cancel our order and receive a full refund?
