When I last wrote to you back in April, the tariff merry-go-round had just started, and there was tremendous uncertainty with respect to supply and pricing.

While there is ongoing instability in international trade, what has changed is our industry’s ability to react to changes and mitigate their effects. Yes, there are some goods that are no longer available for the US market, as some manufacturers are unable to certify where the steel or aluminum in their product was smelted – a requirement for import by anyone.

Nonetheless, you can have complete confidence that the prices you see on our website are exactly what you will pay. There will be no extra fees or charges of any sort. We are fully prepared for the fall season, with strong inventory support in our Reno warehouse, and back-up stock in our stores and distribution centers.

We remain committed to providing you with the high-quality products and value you have come to rely on. Thank you for your continued custom, support and understanding.

Sincerely,

Robin Lee
