Amazon and US rivals navigate volatile tariff landscape
The upcoming Amazon Prime Day 2025 arrives the United States amid widespread concern over shifting US-China trade policies, with tariff uncertainty casting a shadow over pricing, supply chains and sales strategies. Despite a temporary reduction in tariffs on Chinese imports, many e-commerce sellers and retail giants such as Amazon, Walmart and Target remain cautious ahead of one of the year's biggest online shopping events. Retail executives have repeatedly flagged the volatile tariff landscape as a top risk for their operations. Amazon's CFO Brian Olsavsky said the company's latest forecast reflects 'the general uncertainty' in global trade. His comments echoed warnings from Walmart and Best Buy leaders, who cited unpredictability around tariff levels and timing as a challenge for strategic planning. The U.S.-China tariff standoff had reached a peak earlier this year when import duties on Chinese goods soared to 145%. That prompted some brands to consider scaling back participation in Prime Day. A late-May agreement reduced those tariffs to 30%, offering temporary relief. Still, concerns remain as the legal status of tariffs continues to fluctuate, with pending court rulings expected to shape the near-term trade environment. Pattern, a commerce accelerator that works with brands across online marketplaces, reported scrambling to restock U.S. inventories after the tariff rollback. 'We were on the precipice,' said Brett Bardsley, the company's Chief International Officer, describing how airfreight and expedited shipping were used to fill gaps caused by earlier trade disruptions. For many sellers, Prime Day remains a high-stakes opportunity. More than 80% of Amazon Prime members surveyed in May indicated they plan to shop during the event—up from 68% in 2024—according to Tinuiti. Amazon is expected to stretch the sale across four days, doubling last year's duration. Still, not all brands are equally positioned. Companies heavily reliant on Chinese manufacturing are weighing whether they can offer competitive discounts while absorbing a 30% tariff. Others, like Flaus, a maker of electric flossers, say the lowered tariffs cleared the way for full Prime Day participation without raising prices—for now. Amazon has said it is pleased with the response from selling partners and is working to help them adapt. But categories like electronics, which have tighter margins and higher exposure to Chinese sourcing, may proceed cautiously. Shares in Amazon rebounded sharply in May after the tariff deal, gaining 11% for the month. That followed months of volatility tied to trade developments and investor concerns about rising costs and consumer demand. The stock remains just below a key technical buy point as of early June. While Amazon's e-commerce platform has not seen a significant rise in average selling prices, other retailers are less optimistic. Walmart's CFO John David Rainey recently warned that tariffs remain 'too high,' suggesting that shoppers could see price increases in the months ahead. The Trump administration, however, has pushed back against such claims, arguing that the current tariff policy is manageable for most businesses. Amazon's CEO Andy Jassy maintains that the company is well-positioned to gain market share during uncertain periods, citing its performance during past disruptions. Analysts say that while summer sales could see a lift from the tariff reprieve, the broader retail sector must still contend with unresolved trade tensions, inflationary pressure and shifting consumer sentiment. As the Supreme Court prepares to weigh in on the legality of current tariffs, industry watchers say retail strategies for the rest of 2025 will likely hinge on how trade policies evolve—and whether businesses can continue to absorb new costs without passing them on to consumers.

Nintendo Switch 2 restock tracker: Check Best Buy, GameStop, Walmart, Costco, and more
All products featured here are independently selected by our editors and writers. If you buy something through links on our site, Mashable may earn an affiliate commission. The Nintendo Switch 2 launch day has come and gone, and those lucky enough to get a console are already happily playing Mario Kart World and other launch titles. Starting on June 5, gamers could finally purchase the Switch 2 console for $449.99 and the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle for $499.99 — if you could find it in stock. Costco had inventory available on June 5, and Target started selling its inventory online on June 6, but as of this writing, it's unavailable at all retailers. GameStop and Staples at least have tools that let you check available stock at nearby stores. Opens in a new window Credit: Nintendo Buy the Switch 2 console at Target $449.99 Release date: June 6 Shop Now So, where can you buy the Switch 2 online? Check for Switch 2 stock at the My Nintendo Store and official Nintendo retailers and smash that refresh button like it's your first time playing Super Smash Bros. Buy the Switch 2 at Nintendo Buy the Switch 2 at Walmart - Unavailable Buy the Switch 2 at GameStop - Check stock in stores Buy the Switch 2 at Best Buy - Check stock in stores But the Switch 2 at Costco - Unavailable Buy the Switch 2 at Target - Unavailable Staples - Check stock in stores Credit: Nintendo To avoid hoarding and reselling, Nintendo and retailers are limiting orders per person. That means you'll need to make an account to successfully place an order. We also recommend reviewing our tips for tracking restocks, and in the meantime, try all the links below. You can't simply go to the My Nintendo Store and buy the Switch 2. To order the Switch 2, you need to log in with an active, paid Nintendo Switch Online account. Once you do that, you can choose either a Switch 2 standalone console or the Mario Kart World bundle and then hit the confirm button to "register your interest" in ordering a Switch 2. Now for the weird stuff. Only Switch Online members who have paid for at least 12 months of service and registered at least 50 hours of gameplay on their Switch consoles can purchase through Nintendo. In other words, you better be a true Switch gamer if you want to buy the Switch 2 this way. If you're eligible and follow these steps, watch your email for an invitation link. Buy the Switch 2 at Nintendo: Nintendo Switch 2 console $449.99 Learn More Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle $499 Learn More Unlike Nintendo, purchasing the Switch 2 online at Walmart is pretty simple. Technically, Walmart shoppers have been able to preorder Switch 2 consoles on Walmart's website since midnight ET on April 24. In reality, the console has been sold out consistently. Our advice? Go to the Walmart Switch 2 listing a few times a day and smash that refresh button. We'll update this article as soon as we find Switch 2 consoles in stock at Walmart (or anywhere). Walmart also sells a lot of Switch 2 launch titles and accessories. Buy the Switch 2 at Walmart: Nintendo Switch 2 console $449 Shop Now Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle $499.99 Shop Now Target stores opened as usual on launch day, and according to a press release, Switch 2 hopefuls were directed to a "designated queuing location" near the entrance. Target workers reportedly gave out reservation tickets to a lucky few. Buyers were whisked off to the electronics department, where they could finally purchase either the Switch 2 or a Switch 2 bundle. Buy the Switch 2 at Target: Nintendo Switch 2 console $449.99 Shop Now Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle $499.99 Shop Now GameStop is the one retailer of the four listed here that's doing things a little bit differently. If you were lucky enough to get a GameStop preorder, you could pick up your console at midnight on June 5. GameStop stores also hosted midnight launch events (though supplies were limited), and gamers can go to GameStop locations to participate in a "Transfer and Trade," where they trade in their original Switch and transfer data to the new console. You can also try your luck online or sign up to get updates when new inventory becomes available. You can also buy Switch 2 games and accessories at GameStop, including those all-important MicroSD Express cards. Buy the Switch 2 at GameStop: Nintendo Switch 2 console $449.99 Shop Now Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle $499.99 Shop Now Best Buy joined GameStop in hosting Switch 2 midnight launch parties, but the tents and lawn chairs have been packed away by now. If you weren't one of the chosen ones who got a console at these events, you'll have to rely on the Best Buy website. So far, we haven't seen any inventory available, unfortunately. As a 'high-demand item,' Best Buy customers have to follow specific steps to buy a Switch 2 online: Create a My Best Buy account and sign in Confirm your location Add the item to your cart Follow the on-screen prompts and check for available inventory If you get a Switch 2 console in your cart, you'll have 10 minutes to complete the purchase Buy the Switch 2 at Best Buy: Nintendo Switch 2 console $449.99 Shop Now Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle $499.99 Shop Now You'll notice there's one major retailer conspicuously missing so far — Amazon. That's because Amazon is not an official Nintendo retailer, so any Switch 2 consoles you find there are likely listed by resellers of dubious legitimacy. However, Amazon shoppers can preorder some Switch 2 titles ahead of the launch.

Most Staples locations open at 8 a.m., but we recommend showing up bright and early. Staples will also be selling an unnamed Switch 2 game bundle, and we know it's not the standard Mario Kart World bundle. As with other retailers, Switch 2 consoles are currently listed as "Out of stock" at the Staples online store.

Then you may be able to secure your Switch 2 at the mega-retailer, which has been one of the few retailers with actual inventory available on June 5. Costco members can purchase the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle online starting June 5, though there's a limit of one console per membership (every seven days). As of this writing, the console and Mario Kart bundle are both sold out. Opens in a new window Credit: Costco Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle $499.99 at Costco Learn More Simply put, it's a matter of demand far outpacing supply, though tariffs definitely didn't help. Since opening for preorder on April 24, the Switch 2 has been sold out pretty much everywhere, like the PS5 before it. In fact, so many gamers tried to place preorders on April 24 that they immediately crashed the GameStop, Target, and Walmart websites. That's left many Switch fans wondering how to buy the Switch 2 online. So, if you aren't buying a Switch 2 in person, keep checking this page for the latest stock updates on Switch 2 launch day and beyond.

Corporations left Spokane Pride in the lurch. Then the community stepped up
Jun. 7—April was a tough month for Matthew Danielson, director of Spokane Pride. The annual celebration that draws tens of thousands of Inland Northwest residents to downtown Spokane was just a few months away, but some of the event's largest sponsors in past years had yet to recommit their support. "I'm not gonna lie, April was scary," Danielson said. Spokane Pride's main event is the Pride parade at noon Saturday in downtown Spokane, followed by festivities in Riverfront Park at 1 p.m. Multiple past sponsors of Spokane Pride opted not to return this June amid economic uncertainty, increased anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and pressure from the federal government to abandon diversity, equity and inclusivity efforts in the public and private sectors. It's a trend affecting Pride celebrations across the country, as some of the largest contributors in size and monetary donations have left organizers and communities of all sizes scrambling. The Inland Northwest was one of those communities, until locals stepped up in the eleventh hour. Nonprofits, businesses and community members have made up for the gap in funding over the last few months, allowing the event to go on without the cuts Spokane Pride had feared, Danielson said. "It's been pretty beautiful to watch," Danielson said. "I haven't ran the exact numbers, but I think we're actually in quite good shape. Not quite as good of shape as I thought we would be, because we had some big promises from a lot of those big corporate sponsors last year, but we're in a lot better place than we were a few months ago." In Spokane, the short list of big -ticket corporate donors who've walked away include Walmart, Verizon Wireless and Anheuser-Busch, according to a screen grab of last year's sponsors captured by the internet archiving platform Wayback Machine. Of those companies, Walmart was the sole respondent to a request for comment to The Spokesman-Review regarding why they decided not to lend their support despite doing so a year ago. In a written statement, Walmart spokesman Jimmy Carter said the company's focus "remains on creating an environment where our associates and customers feel they belong," before adding that employees in the region are volunteering with community organizations in June, "including those which support the LGBTQ+ community." "It's really hard to get straight answers out of any of them," Danielson said. "They're not incentivized to tell me why they actually dropped us." Speaking generally to the possible motivations for the groups, Danielson said some shared apprehension about the state of the economy, some nonprofits couldn't because of budget cuts as a result of state and federal funds drying up, and others indicated they were saving funding to provide to other community events. He also theorized some organizations are feeling the pressure put on by the federal campaign against DEI initiatives. "It's hard to tell, because they won't actually come out and say, 'Hey, we're not supporting Pride anymore,' " Danielson said. The withdrawals threatened community events throughout the Inland Northwest. Organizers of Coeur d'Alene's Pride in the Park shared a similar experience of losing sponsors this year, and events in smaller communities throughout the region were threatened as a result of Spokane losing support. Pride gatherings in Bonners Ferry, Sandpoint and Waverly are among communities that have received financial backing from Spokane Pride, Danielson said. "Part of our mission has expanded to helping with smaller, more rural prides," Danielson said. "... Helping to develop the smaller pride events out in these smaller towns and places, where I think we kind of need pride the most." The cavalry arrived around the start of May, Danielson said. The Episcopal Diocese of Spokane provided $10,000, which was followed by another large donation from Gonzaga University's Lincoln LGBTQ+ Resource Center. Then a wave of smaller donations from organizations and community members alike rolled in, ranging in values of tens, hundreds and thousands of dollars. Anheuser-Busch's usual $5,000 and beer garden equipment gave them sole product rights in the designated drinking areas of the park festival, so their departure has provided an opportunity for local breweries and distilleries to take their place. A number of craft brewers in the area have provided kegs free of charge to Spokane Pride, including Natural 20, Hat Trick and Humble Abode, as reported by the Inlander. Humble Abode co-owner Courtney Gilbreath said it was a no-brainer to lend a helping hand. She and her husband, Matt Gilbreath, have established relationships with some of the organizers, and they love supporting community events, she said. "We don't really get into politics and all that," Gilbreath said. Danielson said the influx of local support, particularly from faith-based organizations, was as meaningful to him personally as it was to Spokane Pride as an organization. "It almost made me cry as kind of a recovering Christian who was really hurt by the church and growing up gay," Danielson said. "... I love it; they became our largest sponsor just with that." The list of sponsors this year also includes several familiar names and logos from year's past. The Davenport Hotels and Amazon remain top-level sponsors, and a number of local advocacy groups chipped in. VIP Production Northwest is supporting once again by providing the stages and sound systems that will be located throughout the park at a generous rate, said Chief Operating Officer Triston Ward. He said the event company does the same for a number of events in Spokane, whether it's Pig Out in the Park or an Independence Day concert. "When they have financial struggles, we always work with them to figure that out, because we don't believe that sponsors and donors really should dictate the fun that the community has," Ward said. "We do what we can to help, and we've had a wonderful relationship with the people over at Pride for many, many years." Ward said the funding struggles are popping up for other community events as well, a trend he believes is from concerns about the state of the economy. VIP has seen some of those concerns, he said, in less equipment orders from customers and the challenge of providing accurate quotes. Still, there's value in an organization attaching itself to a community event like Spokane Pride, Ward said. It increases visibility and generates a new customer or client base. It also helps make the area a better place to live for all walks of life. "VIP is very community oriented, and we kind of exist to support all swaths of life," Ward said. "In the events industry, we have to work with all religions and all political decisions and all everything, so we don't discriminate. We're a bunch of creatives over here helping put a bunch of different events on for all sorts of people." The nonprofit Spokane Independent Metro Business Alliance is another one of those returning sponsors. Executive Director Robin Hanes said their support aligns with the organization's mission of supporting local small businesses, which it does through educational outreach and training throughout the Inland Northwest. "It's our rural businesses, it's our LGBTQ businesses, it's our BIPOC businesses, it's our veteran businesses, it's our women in business; it's everyone who's an independent and local business owner," Hanes said, using an acronym for Black, Indigenous and people of color. "Because we think, for small business owners, there are more similarities than differences, regardless of where they came from and what they believe in and who they love." Despite their own funding challenges as a nonprofit, SIMBA prioritized being there for Danielson and company. "We think it's just really important, particularly to some of our community members, who are just facing some pretty ugly language and behaviors," Hanes said. "We want to make sure that we are supporting." Danielson said that in a roundabout way, all the scrambling and backfill led Spokane Pride to become more of the grassroots, community-supported affair he always envisioned. There will be local beers in the gardens, neighbors bumping into each other and friendly faces at the vendor booths to direct Spokane residents to local resources, opportunities and more. "We still have a little bit of work to do; it's not perfect, but we've shifted so far toward local money and just being community funded," Danielson said. "I cannot believe how much our community stepped up. I'm just so proud of everybody." The Pride parade will kick off noon June 14 in downtown Spokane, while the festivities at Riverfront Park officially begin at 1 p.m.
