⚠️ U.S. Tariff Increases – Starting April 2025
Important Announcement Regarding New Tariffs
Scheduled to run on April 10, 2025
As a countermeasure to the new tariffs, we are offering customers a coupon that can be used on purchases over 50 USD.
Regarding the product we offer, which falls under HS Code 847190, it is likely to be duty-free when imported. Nevertheless, we intend to continue offering a 10% discount coupon as a gesture of goodwill.
🇺🇸 For U.S. Customers
For orders shipped to addresses within the United States, a 10% discount will be applied to purchases of 50USD or more.
This coupon is valid only for U.S. orders and cannot be used for shipments outside the United States.
For example, if you purchase a product priced at 55USD, the final amount you pay will be 49.5USD.
🌍 For Global Customers
In addition, we are offering a 5% discount coupon will be applied to purchases of 50USD or more, that is available to all customers worldwide.
(Please note: only one coupon can be used per order.)
You can find the coupon code displayed on the store’s homepage.
🛠️ About This Measure
It is clear that this is a difficult situation for every companies, including ours.
Nevertheless, we are prepared to continue offering products—even at a loss in some cases.
Normally, large-scale manufacturing reduces costs, and mass production makes products affordable.
However, our products remain reasonably priced because they are assembled and sold directly by the designers themselves.
Cutting into our profit margins is essentially equivalent to reducing labor compensation—which is extremely challenging for us.
The coupon validity period is currently set at 90 days. After that, it may change depending on additional US measures. Thank you for your understanding.
💾 Looking Ahead to the Future of Vintage Computing
While we generally avoid political commentary, the vintage computer hobby we cherish
is meant to be accessible to everyone—from kids to seniors—without requiring large sums of money.
Many parts used in this hobby are sourced from China (this is not a defense of China),
and countless amazing hardware hacks and DIY tools are created by enthusiasts around the world.
It is nearly impossible to source all of these items from within the U.S. market,
yet they are now all subject to high tariffs.
We expect these tariffs to cause further price increases—not just in the U.S.,
but potentially as part of a broader trend of rising trade barriers between other countries as well.
This shift is already underway.
While it may be frustrating when a vintage computer stops working,
in many cases, the issue is minor and can be repaired.
What matters most is that we, as computer enthusiasts, stay peaceful, healthy, and happy.
We will continue to stand with all of you—through both the joys and the challenges—
and we remain committed to preserving this incredible vintage computer culture.
Best regards,
