Dearest friends,
As of this writing, retaliatory tariffs have not yet been imposed for either books or videos shipping from us (Plumpub) in the US to you, in Canada. However, the situation remains volatile and ever-changing. We want you to know we are carefully monitoring it all, and will update you as we receive news.
If you have contacts or addresses in the US to whom we can ship as an alternative, we suggest this as an option (at your convenience, of course). Maybe you know someone who will be visiting you, or you have an office address here in the States, as well. Whatever the situation, we are more than happy to ship to an alternate address. If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to ask.
For more than 30 years we have served the entire traditional Chinese martial arts community around the world, and we know that not everyone in that community agrees politically. We rarely bring up politics. However, there is a difference between politics and world view, and this is not the time to be coy about these issues. Times are dangerous, people are justifiably angry and afraid, and decades-long allies are being alienated every day. We, along with the vast majority of Americans in the US, do not support or endorse these policies that are repulsive to our values as Americans. They are also anathema, in our opinion, to being martial artists, and go against the very concept of WuDe.
We will continue to report on issues relating to doing business with our dear and wonderful customers, here and abroad. We wish all the best for you and yours, and apologize for whatever actions our so-called government takes in making our shared world more perilous.
