Summary
- 8BitDo paused US shipments from China due to Trump tariffs, affecting specific controllers.
- US customers can still buy 8BitDo products that are already at the company’s US warehouse.
- No timeline has been given for Chinese shipments resuming.
8BitDo, a well-known third-party brand for console controllers (Switch and Xbox), has temporarily stopped shipping new products to the U.S. due to a 145% tariff on imports from China imposed by the Trump administration. However, items that are currently in 8BitDo’s US warehouse can still be purchased.
8BitDo has temporarily halted its shipping due to ongoing tariffs imposed by the Trump administration on Chinese imports. Currently, these tariffs stand at 145% across all Chinese goods imported into the U.S. The Trump administration has also applied a temporary 10% tariff on products from countries like Vietnam and Cambodia. Consequently, Microsoft has announced an increase in prices for Xbox Series X/S consoles, games, and accessories, effective May 1. The price of the Xbox Series X will rise by $100 to $600, while the Series S will now cost $380.
8BitDo has decided to postpone sending shipments from its Chinese warehouse to the U.S., due to the ongoing tariffs. According to Polygon, this affects orders made through 8BitDo’s website if the shipping address is in the U.S. This pause only applies to certain controllers such as the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Bluetooth Controller with TMR stick sensors, which were recently released. However, customers based in the U.S. can still place orders for items that are already stored in 8BitDo’s warehouses located within the country.
8BitDo Temporarily Pausing US Shipments From China Due To Trump Tariffs
- 8BitDo is temporarily halting US shipments from China due to the Trump tariffs.
- US customers can still order 8BitDo products that are available at the company’s stateside warehouse.
- No timetable was given for when 8BitDo peripheral shipments from China will resume.
- 8BitDo controllers are also available at third-party retailers like Best Buy and Amazon.
To verify if the shipping address works correctly, try adding an item to your cart and observe if it proceeds normally. Meanwhile, you can still find 8BitDo controllers at various retailers such as Best Buy, Walmart, and Amazon. If you’re interested in purchasing an 8BitDo accessory like the affordable Ultimate 2C Controller, I recommend checking each store while supplies last. Despite the ongoing effects of the Trump administration’s tariffs on the gaming industry, 8BitDo isn’t alone in temporarily halting shipments to the US.
On April 9th, Square Enix temporarily halted pre-orders for certain merchandise deliveries to the United States and Canada due to their worries about Trump’s tariffs. A specific resumption date for these merchandise deliveries to North America hasn’t been provided yet, but the tariffs don’t seem to impact Square Enix’s game sales. As for 8BitDo, only time will reveal when they’ll start shipping their products from China to the U.S. again.
