Prices of American sourced gear

Postby Moondog55 » Wed 05 Mar, 2025 8:15 am

Did anybody else get that email from EE this morning?
Prices of EE quilts likely to go up 35% or more, due to a combination of factors.
950+ down getting more expensive combined with a new tariff structure

I'm boycotting USAnian manufacturers anyway.

I might think about it in four year's time.

In the middle of the massive project of ditching all my US suppliers: AWS, Digital Ocean, Audible, plus the gear & tech shops.

The one I'm struggling with is Garmin / InReach / Iridium. Any non-US equivalents?

If you already have it then there is no point in ditching it. Well. other than any ongoing subscription thing.

Think there might be a single non 'merican competitor to the inreach stuff. Not in that market so I don't remember it, sorry.
