Where are you seeing a pre-payment for tariffs? I don't have any prepayment or tariff charges listed as part of the purchase.Unfortunately I did have to raise prices 10% given 5 shipments of parts that arrived last week had a 71% tariff rate hike attached to them and it cost me significantly more than usual. This was only for a handful of parts but as I need to replenish stock on other items the increased cost will continue to affect the kit price. I now have enough stock on aluminum & combo kits parts to get through the spring and probably most of summer. but I'm uncertain on the timeline and price to get more parts beyond that. I will keep the prices where they are at for the stock I've already paid for but if this volatility continues I could see having no choice but to raise prices further once I run out of parts - this project is super fun for me to work on and develop but there is not a lot of room on the pricing. I removed the aluminum only kits for now so I can ensure combo kits stay in stock for the next few months. If this craziness ends I'll of course bring the prices right back down as fast as I can.
