News Update: US RetroTINK Shipments Now Temporarily Suspended
RetroTINK, maker of the popular RetroTINK 4K upscaled consoles, has announced that it will temporarily suspend shipments to the United States due to the lack of guidance on upcoming tariffs from President Donald Trump. Mike Chi, the founder and CEO, explained that without proper procedures for pre-paying tariffs, risks related to delays or lost packages were too high.
Due to lack of guidance on how tariffs will be collected starting May 2nd, we’ve made the difficult decision to temporarily suspend US shipments:
April 23rd - Last day for non-expedited orders April 28th - Last day for expedited orders
Chi emphasized that this suspension only affects US customers. Orders to other countries will remain unaffected, stating: "As before, service to the rest of the world will continue without interruptions and policy-induced complications.”
Without proper procedures in place, the risk of delays and lost packages is simply too high
Although some supplies exist within the USA, pausing shipments will allow the company more time to plan ahead
We also expect that this will be resolved eventually.
What do you think about the impact of these tariffs on retro gaming enthusiasts in the US? Will it affect your purchasing decision?
