April 2025 - AdaBox and U.S. tariffs -
We have an important update about AdaBox. A new round of U.S. tariffs on electronics and components has directly impacted some of the key parts we were planning to use in our next AdaBox(es).
The result is a new shipping delay while we adjust sourcing and logistics. But here's the good news: we're already ahead of the game! All four AdaBoxes for 2025 are fully developed, and rather than pause, we're reordering the schedule. What was originally planned as the second AdaBox for 2025 will now ship first. This lets us stay on track while we navigate the changing landscape.
We know waiting isn't fun, but your box will still be full of surprises, and we're working hard to keep things as seamless as possible. As always, you won't be charged until your box ships, and we'll share weekly updates with more details. If we need to change prices for this AdaBox (or others), you will know before we ship and can make decisions based on the new price.
Starting April 9th, join us for our weekly news segment "TARIFF TALK! With Ladyada" on ASK AN ENGINEER at 8pm ET on Wednesday nights.
We appreciate your support and patience as we roll with these global shifts - AdaBox is all about learning, adapting, and innovating; after all - don't let a crisis go to waste, as they say. 💪
Stay tuned - we can't wait to share what's inside.
