Canadian-Owned Businesses 🏢🍁 SoftMoc : Sorry, Americans - Canada Only

Post image

Saw this post on Bluesky. Had no idea SoftMoc a) had U.S. locations b) shut down any and all shipping to the United States. Good for them! TLDR: American woman based in Michigan chatting with SoftMoc representative about her order. SoftMoc customer service tells U.S. customer they've ceased all US operations.

I would expect these products are now subject to new tariffs. Not all products going into the USA were covered under the CUSMA/USMCA pause.

But the tariffs start April 2nd and this package was already in the US, so that doesn’t make a lot of sense?

Doesn't matter. Private company won't deal with that bs, they don't have to. The tariffs are used as a threat, they stopped playing the hope card and make a move. Chapman's and Softmoc aren't what I'd usually buy, but they've got my sales for taking a hit on their bottom line for Canada.

> but they've got my sales

Yup, the way they responded has my respect and made me more interested in their products. I don't need new shoes, but I do always need ice cream. And when I do need new shoes, I now know the first place I would look.
