They aren't moving for any US retailer. They are staying put in China for now. We as retailers can put our orders in, but they are all being held at the factory until it's financially reasonable. The gray area is, once they are released to US retailers, they are no longer really new releases as...

We are done with this, it isn't our issue, you don't get it, it's a you and NG issue. I was only kind enough to try and be transparent and explain, but I guess you don't see the value in that. Again we could have been silent like other retailers. But you seem to have a particular bug for us...

Exactly, now you get it, we opted out. You should have emailed them and re-routed where you wanted your model to land. We opted out well before they processed that reward batch... Sorry they didn't email you with a secondary retailer...not our issue

We never got the product, so it's hard to ship which we never received.

There are and were no terms, and no agreements, it was essentially if we were selected as a retailer we might get additional sales. We could jump in or opt out anytime we wanted, no contracts, no agreements. You were getting a free model through 'Their' program, not ours. So when unexpected...

We appreciate that, we are a small business, and that particular tariff bill, which I don't need to disclose, but will, was over $7000, that was just the tariff bill, not including the actual order itself. We have been transparent in the process, other retailers have not. Maybe some got under...

You didn't enter a business deal with us, we are/were the middle man in this participation, and we got absolutely nothing out of the deal, and I mean nothing. The last shipment was refused due to the tariff/ tax that would have been our responsibility. What FedEx/ CBP did with it, I have no idea.

We have opted out of the program, we refused the last shipment due to the tariff that was being imposed. You should contact NG, if they respond. I did hear that CBP does destroy items that are refused as they will not send them back.

We did contact the customers when we received the models. The last batch for us got hung up with tariffs and we refused the shipment, you don't want to know how much that would have been. What FedEx did with the shipment I have no idea, assumed it went back to NG. But there is no incentive to...

We have experienced that, there is almost no benefit to the retailer/ dealer, more of a nuisance to be honest. We get nothing from NG if I’m being honest, and we are left doing legwork to collect, then ship, and honestly no residual orders per se. So we are effectively done with the program.

Honestly it’s just a losing deal for retailers, or at least us. We have to pay shipping from China, then have to ship to you. Collect shipping from you, then ship. Typically with no reciprocal orders to somewhat help the store out. And even with, a now reduced tariff, it still has a high cost...

We have told NG to drop us, even at the now new 30%, it just doesn’t make sense

Just keep an eye out, I have a feeling there will be some collections coming out of the woods, just a personal feeling

No NG at all, this is a collection that is 20 years old, so nothing NG or newish, lots of Aeroclassics, Gemini and DW

We have plenty of inventory to weather the storm for quite some time. We are in process of listing a 1500 piece collection. I get it some of these new release only retailers have nothing else to sell, but the risk of catching the eye of the Fed's is certainly not worth it, and they are I'm sure...
