VGP's Resilient Stand: Navigating Tariffs Without Compromising US Shipments

In the wake of new tariffs imposed due to President Donald Trump’s decision to end the De Minimis Exemption, Video Games Plus (VGP) reassures its American customers of their continued commitment to providing a seamless shopping experience. Yet, with changes afoot, what can US gamers expect?

Commitment to US Customers

With the De Minimis Exemption ceasing on August 29, 2025, VGP took to social media to clarify its position. The Canadian retailer affirmed its dedication to its US clientele, asserting that despite potential delays and tariff-related challenges, the supply chain remains open. “We’re committed to our customers,” a statement from VGP emphasized, even as new customs procedures promise a more intricate shipping process.

Pricing Stability Amid Uncertainties

A deep dive into their pricing strategy reveals VGP’s efforts to remain competitive. Although the prices shown on the site are described as stable, the company hinted at potential fluctuations. The good news for consumers? VGP intends to honor the price at which an order was placed, thus sheltering its customers from unforeseeable financial impacts. According to Siliconera, changes are anticipated, but for now, the stability holds firm.

Managing Tariff Challenges

VGP is taking proactive steps to manage potential tariffs. For now, the extra costs are not expected to trickle down to US consumers—a relief to their customer base. However, the landscape is shifting, and VGP has been transparent about possible changes in this regard. Their ongoing analysis showcases a keen commitment to minimizing client disruptions.

Future Projections and Prolonged Delays

Anticipate shipping delays, averaging an “additional one day” to standard delivery times. A prolongation that VGP attributes largely to revamped customs and shipping processes. Intriguingly, there’s talk of VGP exploring options to facilitate shipping from within local US distributors soon—a potential game changer for expediting delivery times.

Market Shifts and New Reality

While VGP continues operations, others—like Tokyo Otaku Mode and Good Smile Company—have paused shipments amid the latest exemption termination. This broader suspension highlights the challenges importers face without the cushioning effect of the De Minimis Exemption.

In closing, despite a web of complexities introduced by the new tariffs, VGP’s commitment to maintaining service stability is evident. Gamers can take solace in VGP’s dedication to competitive pricing and a streamlined transition, allowing them to continue enjoying their favorite pastimes without interruption.

Stay tuned as VGP looks to bring even more direct solutions in their dedication to their US audience.
