A Statement To Our Valued Customers in the United States

Okay wait now I just want dog merch from schiit called dog schiit.

Don't worry, guys. Tariffs are going to bring Fiio factories back to the US.

I don't think so. And with what manpower and salaries?

Due to well-known circumstances, the sales of FIIO products in the U.S. will be significantly impacted. While we should adjust retail prices immediately, current policies are undergoing rapid changes, making it impossible for us to quickly update pricing across all online and offline sales channels in the U.S. Additionally, FIIO still has limited inventory remaining in the U.S.

As a result, we must wait for the finalization of relevant policies and monitor inventory levels before making any adjustments to FIIO’s retail pricing in the U.S. market.

We sincerely appreciate the longstanding support of all FIIO users in the U.S. and kindly ask for your understanding. FIIO has always adhered to a low-margin, high-volume business model. Under the current circumstances, maintaining existing retail prices would make our U.S. operations unsustainable. Therefore, we encourage customers to make purchasing decisions based on actual needs.

If the product inventory in the U.S. sells out before tariff policies are finalized, we may have to suspend sales to avoid losses. Should policies stabilize, we will determine final retail prices based on the confirmed tariff rates. Thank you for your continued trust and support.

Best regards,
Guangzhou FIIO Electronics Technology Co., Ltd.

World is in shambles, hope everything goes back to normal someday. Till then all the best.

Maybe use this time to work on better quality control yes?

We all have more than enough ... Bye china

 

[Seyley]

I’m worried about that third option.

The third option has already started.

Here in England we have stopped the transfer of 'Jaguar & Land Rover' being exported to the USA. That's one headliner. America needs to remember that manufacturers can survive without doing business in the USA.
15.3% of our exports goes to the US. Most of that attracts a tariff of 10%. The other goods as previously stated are being stopped and that attracts a tariff of 25%. Negoiation between the 2 countries are imminent.

Well @FiiO ... With a little price discount you might sell more in EU...

 

[Dixter]

hey Fiio... why not just build a small shop in China and put your items there for walkin sales... some people have plenty of frequent miles to be able to fly to china for free an a short vacation...a trip to the Fiio Store to take some goodies home with them on the return flight... maybe a discount on the sales...

This has to be sarcastic right?

This had me thinking the same way... In Europe many people used to go to Amsterdam for... reasons.. and bring those reasons back home where they were still illegal. If this stupidity carries on for a while, will audio tourism become a thing? Until all this kicked off I was thinking of going to the Shanghai canjam this year anyway, so maybe I need to save up, wait and go to Shenzhen next year with an empty suitcase and a full wallet...

Travelling between countries within the EU is a little different that flying from NA to China.

For example for me to fly a round trip to shenzhen would be 1100-2000$ depending on time of year. That’s not the same as taking a train from Germany to the Netherlands.

So true. When the budget airline wars first kicked off I was still in the UK and you could easily fly to 'Dam for £20... I can't even get an Uber into town for that nowadays!

Are you serious?

Sure if you fly places for work or as the name implies, are a frequent flier. Idk about you but I can afford my audio gear because I’m not a frequent flier and don’t spend my money on travel. What I’m implying here is that for the people who love fiio and other chi fi brands for their affordable but still high quality products would not be able to afford to fly out to China just to buy some gear.
