Over the weekend I saw an article (that I can no longer find – otherwise I’d link it!) about how the new tariffs will be impacting everything from back-to-school shopping to holiday gift buying. It mentioned that many major retailers had initially boosted their orders while tariffs were being discussed – even before the election. But now that they’ve gone into effect, there’s been a noticeable slowdown. In fact, within 6-7 weeks, we might start seeing some empty shelves.
