My cogs were about 12.5% of MSRP before any of this, which is about 2% lower than the comparable benchmark. Could get it to 12% if I wanted to. You get preferential treatment from suppliers if they make more money off of you, which helps shorten supply chain by a month or so. That is worth more than the .5% on cost.
Smarter companies already used this leverage before any of this. Sounds like you were being played before. The tariffs didn’t change anything in your scenario. You were weak.

Sounds like you’ve been getting ripped off this entire time Bob. You didn’t need to wait for tariffs to be enacted.
We should definitely do economic policy and foreign policy based on a daily look at the Stock Market

They kept it open you know

Sure
Seriously….thats more an indictment of you not negotiating tough to begin with instead of something magically happening to the tariffs.
I’ve got news for you, the supplier is still probably fleecing you.
Can't have this. Hopefully Judge Pink Hair stops it
Cube boy is a wannabe CFO too.
Do you know how many “investments” were pledged last time didn’t happen? Let me know when it becomes reality!
