Dear valued customers,
Recently significant tariffs were imposed upon Canada, Mexico, and China. This tax on foreign exports into the United States impacts the price of manufacturing the goods we sell. Out of our 20+ printing facilities we have three facilities in the affected countries. These facilities produce a wide variety of our products, especially those in China and Mexico. In addition to the facilities, in the affected regions, sending the printed product to the United States, being affected by tariffs, they also import products from the United States. It works as follows: Fabric is made in a country, then exported to the United States, where the shirt is made, it then is exported to our facilities in Mexico, Canada, and China to be printed, and finally, the printed shirt is exported back into the United States and delivered to you(the customer). Throughout the process of printing the shirt Piranha Printing will end up being responsible for at least two separate sets of tariffs.

What This means for you
Likely, throughout the next few months, product prices will increase by up to 35% to account for the added cost of manufacturing due to the tariffs. We will attempt to keep prices competitive and low, however, if need be we will not hesitate to raise prices to cover the costs of our business, our staff, and our growth. At Piranha Printing we care deeply for the customer and strive to do our best to ensure a quality experience and low, competitive prices for high-quality printing and embroidery services.
If anything, this message is a reminder that tariffs are not a hack for free money, they are always a cost for a company, sadly pushed onto the consumer to maintain profit margins and company financial security. For those that disagree read the above paragraph and reconsider.
At the same time, Piranha Printing will reserve the right to cancel orders as they see fit due to product price miscalculations or a result of financial loss due to an order. This will also include the reservation of the right, by Piranha Printing, to cancel orders as they see fit regardless of the reason. In the event of a cancellation, a full refund will be issued to the customer.
We deeply apologize for any inconveniences this change may cause and as you wish us the best, we will also wish you the best pursuing your creative purposes.
Thank you for your understanding,
Joel O.
CEO, Piranha Printing
