What are you talking about?Do you think manufacturers eat increases in cost? NO.
Importers will always pass on their increased costs, but that's not making them any more profit.They always find a way to justify making more profit off of these things.
Like @Bad Santa mentioned above, this could be a case of manufacturers taking advantage of the situation. However, tariffs or not, there will always be companies looking for ways to exploit consumers.Last time around a tarrif on bicycles showed up almost immediately in bike costs.

Unfortunately, business in the US often goes beyond simply maintaining profit margins. It tends to focus on maximizing profits, sometimes at the expense of customers.Don't think there is much exploitation going on. It's just about maintaining profit margins.
The " tariff isn't a 10% increase in cost to the consumer.
For sure, that's the opening round. I am hearing it could be 50%, 70%, or even 90%. I guess it depend on the "talks."10%? Count your blessings if that's all the tariff ends up being.
Agreed. Tariffs are a tax on the US consumer and paid to US government at time of import. Nothing at all to do with manufacture cost or margin in China. So landed cost in the USA port will be say 10% higher (or whatever %). DJI USA will most likely pass some or all of this cost on to us via dji.com, Best Buy, Amazon or wherever you buy within the USA.That's exactly what it is. It has nothing to do with DJI's price or their profit margin.
HA!When it starts, might suggest buying what is left on BestBuy shelves depending on the model. They should still be at the pre tariff cost
I was only saying the in stock merchandise at Best Buy or Walmart will have the previous price after the Tariffs start.HA!
In a perfect world.
We don't live in a perfect world.
If the cost tomorrow will be higher, then you'll pay that cost today.
If the cost next week will be lower, you'll pay the higher price today.
THAT is how the system works.
Unfortunately, neither one has had any DJI drone stock for some time. However, definitely likely for anything else of Chinese origin.I was only saying the in stock merchandise at Best Buy or Walmart will have the previous price after the Tariffs start.
