What a truly awesome, necessary thing to put your citizens through!
I paid $750 in tariffs on parts this weekend that were manufactured in the USA... and I'm in the USA.

Sounds logical comparatively.

An australian is generally up about $22usd for 3 or more $8 pcbs from PPCB, and we dont even have that tariff mess.Non-Tayda, but... YAYYYY $17 shipping/fees on a single $15 pcb from Canada now. Absolutely not DEFX's fault of course, they have to lump it all in. What a truly awesome, necessary thing to put your citizens through!

oooh, I didn't even know about CE. I'll have to remember that.Tayda’s pretty much my last resort now. CE Dist, StompBox Parts,My Switches, Mouser, and DigiKey are my go-tos for pedal and amp parts now.
I tend to place a couple very large orders a year and honestly the biggest advantage of Tayda for me is how fast I can navigate their website. The idea of needing to order all my basic caps and resistors from Mouser sounds awful. SBP is also great - they get all of my knob business and anything they have that Tayda doesn't.
I'm as annoyed about tariffs as anyone, but I guess I've assumed that even with the tariffs, Tayda would still be my cheapest option. Even if their price advantage got erased, it seems like if I had to get my Tayda order from three other places, the additional shipping might be worse than the tariffs.
Also a factor is that whenever I feel like someone in authority is trying to manipulate me into a particular course of action my instinct is to do the opposite.

CE Distribution looks to be yet another name for Antique Electronic Supply/Amplified Parts... same exact inventory as far as I can tell. AES and AP are finally merging, I wonder if CE will remain.

That's so weird to have that many DBAs…

It's been said around here many times. CE is the wholesale arm of the company. You need a business license to open an account with them

Wow, I actually heard the exasperated sigh when I read that!
You guys are being a bit mean. Trump is trying his hardest to make America great again and all you can do is bitch. I was about to say "but what I don't understand is..." then realised it was superfluous. He has imposed 10% tariffs on Australia but the US has a "trade surplus" with Australia. And I put that in inverted commas because the term trade surplus is essentially meaningless. It doesn't mean countries are "treating you very badly". You don't get nothing in return for that money.
The stupidity is immense. Breathtaking. If he keeps this up the entire world is definitely heading for recession. Brilliant!

The cool thing about their announcement is that they say why there were two in the first place:

So, I take it the word "antique" didn't test well with young people? Ampified did though. Basically the same reason Poochie exists.
Australia shut US beef out of the country for 20 years and slow walked other import restrictions bureaucratically, including restricting US-owned businesses in ways that AUS businesses weren't restricted. Tarriffs are a small corner of a lot of international trade issues and sometimes they are used as tools to address other issues. It would be great if the story was as simple as you present it, but alas it's a big old goofy world. Just sayin.'
Music equipment employs a lot of stuff that was manufactured for other industries (pedal and amp builders have always counted on electronic components intended for medical/military equipment). We've always been passengers on someone else's ride. That won't change anytime soon.
