Supply chain problem is getting real

Just noticed Taigen has raised prices by close to 30%, I hope it's a fluke but don't think so.

What web site are you viewing the prices on? IMEX or Taigen?

I placed an order through IMEX earlier tonight. The prices on those items I ordered before; they were the same. For those new ones I ordered, I don’t know if they were higher or the same. They were higher than from MotionRC but of course items from MotionRC were “out of stock” lol.

I was over on taigentanks.com, JS-2 IR was $589.99 this morning and now shows $759.99. I can get a new JS-2 for $450 but it's the airsoft version. I was holding off the airsoft since Taigen doesn't sell the parts I need to convert.

Wonder if it is supply issues for sure. And if so I'm curious about 2 other things.

1. Is this why heng long prices went up as well?

2. Well prices return to normal when the supply chain cleans up?

1. Yes. Prices of everything have been going up. Container prices alone have skyrocketed. It affects every industry on the planet.

2. Time will tell.

My mistake...my order last night was through Taigen tank but my bill through Paypal was paid to Imex (ProtechUSA). So I was on the Taigen website and not the IMEX website.

I think I will go ahead and pick up the lower price airsoft JS-2 for now. Erik from Taigen actually warned of delayed shipment + cost back in September, I just didn't anticipate a 30% hike.

Have you ordered the JS-2 yet? Please PM me!

I did notice that Gear Best doesn't ship to the US now and Aliexpress shipping prices are not afforable any longer.
So no more accessories for me.

Search whatever accessories left from MotionRC and Taigen. Gather them up to $100 for free shipping. I did that with my last 2 orders :-)

When you think container prices have gone from $4000 on average to almost $20,000 now, really is it any wonder?Take it from someone in the logistics chain, everything shipped is rising in price.
