China Tariffs Already Mean Fewer, More Expensive Dolls for American Kids

Carly has auburn hair, blue eyes and stands 18 inches tall. Like most dolls sold in the U.S., she is made in China. That is now a problem for her maker, William Su, who sells tens of thousands of dolls and their accessories a year to Americans through Amazon, Walmart and Target. When President Trump raised tariffs on China to 145% in April, Su, who is based in New York and Taiwan, stopped production because he and his buyers couldn't afford the tariffs.

Walmart to expand drone delivery to 5 more cities

This story was originally published on Supply Chain Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Supply Chain Dive newsletter. Walmart is expanding its drone delivery program with Wing to five new cities over the next year, enabling the initiative to reach millions of new customers, the two companies announced Thursday. Thirty minutes-or-less drone delivery will become available for customers near one of 100 Walmart locations in Atlanta, Houston, Charlotte, North Carolina, and the Florida cities of Orlando and Tampa. New market launches will occur in the coming months, with the rollout to be complete "by this time next year," according to Wing. Wing's drones can deliver up to six miles from the stores they launch from. Wing confirms the recipient's precise delivery location — such as a backyard — at checkout, after which the drone will transport the payload from the store to its destination. The expansion builds upon Walmart's yearslong push to implement drones in its supply chain, making more than 150,000 deliveries with the technology since 2021. The retailer appears bullish on drones' ability to transport nearby orders quickly, despite regulatory and operational hurdles for widespread adoption. 'As we look ahead, drone delivery will remain a key part of our commitment to redefining retail," Greg Cathey, senior vice president of Walmart U.S. transformation and innovation, said in the retailer's announcement. "We're pushing the boundaries of convenience to better serve our customers, making shopping faster and easier than ever before." Wing, a subsidiary of Google parent company Alphabet, is a key partner in Walmart's efforts. Wing drones already make deliveries out of 18 Walmart locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, covering nearly 2 million people. The two companies complete thousands of weekly deliveries together, with an average fulfillment time under 19 minutes, according to Wing. Shoppers in upcoming drone delivery markets can sign up on Wing's website to be notified when the program will launch in their area. Thousands of items will be available for eligible shoppers to order, including fresh produce and household essentials, Wing said. Walmart said its customers are often using drone delivery for food and ingredients they forgot to buy during their weekly grocery trip, along with urgent-care items like cold medicine and baby formula.

Costco goes bananas to protect members from tariffs

As a general rule, it's a good idea for retailers to offer outstanding customer service. But Costco takes that concept a step further than most. Costco is known not only for its extremely competitive prices, but also for one of the most flexible return policies in all of retail. Buy something you don't like or whose quality isn't up to par, and with very few exceptions, you can bring it back for a full refund at any time. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Costco does other things to offer great value to members. It keeps a close eye on its inventory, while aiming to introduce new products from which customers can benefit.

Those extend to everything from groceries to household essentials to electronics. Even though the tariff situation is still evolving, it has retailers spooked across the board. Many retailers rely on foreign trade partners to source goods. And they know that if tariffs drive the cost of goods upward, they're going to have to pass at least some of that increase onto consumers. Related: Costco quietly drops popular product, saddens fans Unfortunately, consumers can't afford to be paying more at the register at a time when inflation is still a problem. So it's a tough situation overall. Recently, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon acknowledged that the company might have to raise prices in response to tariffs. Even though he noted that Walmart would do its best to avoid tariff-related increases, he owned up to the fact that the company probably would not be able to absorb all of the extra costs on its own. If a giant like Walmart is sounding tariff warnings, you can bet that smaller retailers will be looking at raising prices, too. They may simply have no choice. While many retailers are sounding alarms on tariffs, Costco is doing the opposite. During the company's most recent earnings call, the Costco leadership team reassured investors that it had the tariff situation under control. "We're remaining agile as a situation with tariffs evolves," CEO Ron Vachris said. "As an example of this, during the third quarter, we rerouted many goods sourced from countries with large tariff exposure to our non-U.S. markets."

During that same last earnings call, CFO Gary Millerchip called out two such items – pineapples and bananas. "We felt it was important to really eliminate the impact there for the member," Millerchip explained. "We essentially held the price on those to make sure that we're protecting the member." In addition to keeping prices steady on key produce items, Costco also lowered prices on essential items like butter, eggs, and olive oil, Millerchip said.

The company relies on membership fees for a huge chunk of its revenue. So Costco is invested in making members happy by keeping prices as stable as possible. But regardless of the company's motives for keeping prices low, Costco members still benefit. And at a time when so many retailers may be looking at price increases, Costco's commitment to shielding members from tariffs can't be overlooked. Maurie Backman owns shares of Costco.
