I'm wanting to buy a Retroud Flip 2. Specifically the gamecube one.

Now on Retroids website, it's $229 + $25 shipping.

On Amazons website, it's $269 + shipping. However the amazon shipping is within the USA. (I think).

Is it going to be worth it to order straight from Retroid? Or are there going to be tarrifs? How much are the tarrifs?

Don't buy anything you don't need till Trump is out.

Not contributing to Amazon is always a win for any company and society as a whole

Yeah but unfortunately most people don't have an extra 200$ to spend right now.

Contact the company and ask. No one here will be able to tell you about tariffs for some very specific product and company, most likely.

Honestly, who knows?

Go with 4PX if you ship from retroid though. It's not guaranteed, but much less chance of a tariff compared to DHL. But expect a 2 week shipping times over like 4 days with DHL.
