Competition is one thing, but cooperation is generally more effective and leads to greater achievements.

This is a mindset we’ve had at Pipe Puffin, so it’s interesting you bring this up as a closing sentence.

As many have said in this thread, imports from China are affecting costs for a lot more than just the US. Being in our position as a Canadian vendor, and through many opportunities to partner with hard working artisans across the globe (tinymigh.t_bowl, TSWooden, Glass Charlie, Greek Glass, LabetKomp, Spider Glass, to name a few), we’ve found that we’re able to make sure people in our industry don’t have to suffer hidden costs at the border for any of our customers in North America, the UK, and EU.

It’s true that working together leads to a greater outcome across the board, so, well said.
