Tariffs and Pricing Information

As you are aware, the tariffs are having a deleterious effect on many industries, and the professional AV industry is being particularly hard hit.

It's become very difficult to maintain current pricing as manufacturers keep trying to adjust to this volatile state of affairs.

Some manufacturers are adding a tariff surcharge to all their orders, while some manufacturers have chosen to adjust pricing on each product they sell.

We are struggling to keep up with all these changes and we apologize if our pricing is not always correct.

Rest assured that if you place an order and the pricing has changed, then your credit card will not be processed until we have communicated with you, allowing you to either confirm the change in pricing or to cancel your order.

We suggest you call us to confirm pricing and availability.
