What do the founders of Nomad Complex and Costco have in common? The price of hot dogs will be raised over their dead bodies.

As everyone knows, tariffs are hitting the markets which is providing a lot of uncertainty to customers. It is also when a lot of corporations are going to use them as an excuse to jack up their prices. The reality is that these tariffs will mostly affect small businesses, particularly when it comes to rising costs. It's not just a blanket tax on consumer goods - The supply chain process of how we manufacture and ship our items are caught in the crosshairs as well. It would take a 45 minute deep dive to explain just how much the process from conception to fulfilment would be for our clothing. Costs are on the rise, and margins will become slimmer. That being said;

In a time where everything is changing at such a rapid pace, we've discussed the rising costs and tariffs internally and are making the following commitment - We will not now, nor in the near future, be increasing our prices to pass off any new costs to our customers. Order fulfilment will continue as it has previously. Any associated tariffs or increased costs will be paid for by us as long as we have control over this option. No one in North America will be required to pay anything additional to receive their items, either at checkout or at delivery. That is our commitment to YOU.

To help offset some of this, we are planning to establish a Patreon that will contain weekly updates, behind the scenes looks, lore and much more to give anyone who wishes to join an inside look at our operation! It's going to include blog posts, feature lots about the history of our company, the why and how of our decision making, Q+A livestreams, and much more content. There will be no obligations to join, it will just be a little spot to chip in for anyone who would like to or is able!

Community and visibility are going to be more important than ever going forward. At Nomad we like to think that every shirt we send out is a virtual hug we're giving to members of our community who need one most. So the more hugs we can give, the better.

We've got some announcements coming up soon including a sale beginning tomorrow in time to get your orders in before May 2nd rolls around, in time to get stuff by FWA!

⭐️UNDERWEAR RETURNS TO NOMAD COMPLEX - MAY 29TH!⭐️

As some of you know - and more importantly many of you do NOT know - we handed over our cuts and patterns to a new underwear brand - SYS Undies - with the intention of allowing them to go in a more adult direction while keeping the spaces between the two entities separate from one another.

After LOTS of feedback, we have decided to reverse course and instead integrate SYS into the home base of Nomad Complex.

✅SYS Undies will continue to operate its own Telegram channel and social media channels (@SYSUndies) - So you can continue to share/post whatever you like in an adult space without crossing over into the other!

We have a major, MAJOR release and restock of boxer briefs, trunks, jockstraps and more that will be coming back to Nomad Complex on May 28th! Over 45 styles will be making their debut on our website, including some classics that were popular in the past. Cause some of y'all might need an update on your underwear drawers.

💛

**UPDATE**

We have had to push this date back while we deal with the bulk shipment of these items! We have had a large number of delays due to new processing restrictions in Canada, so customs is a bit behind. Our next announcement on these will be when they are available!!

✨NEW - GAMING MATS!✨

Sorry about the picture, whew that's one long bitch. It might've been buried in the launch yesterday but we've got seven brand new gaming mats available on the website! They're 36 inches by 12 inches, and make really cool art for your walls too, just get them GOOD thumbtacks. Unless you're not supposed to make holes in the wall, but do it anyway and gaslight your landlord into thinking they were there when you moved in, they'll never know.

https://nomadcomplex.com/collections/accessories-gaming-mats

✨STOCK ALERT!✨

Just a heads up, everything Fruit Loups is about 70% sold out! Weve still got most sizes of hoodies, tees and tanks but they will likely be gone before June is up.

Dont forget, it’s part of a balanced breakfast along with coffee, shame and sugar.

✨UNDERWEAR IS FINALLY BACK!✨

Please forgive the shitty low effort poster here, we have been busting our asses getting this stuff on the website and we didn't want to make y'all wait any longer, you're gunna have to go to the site to see how cool they are.

Underwear is BACK on the website for good. There are 47 new styles to choose from which is lowkey insane, including new styles and a few classic faves. It's all under the new name on the site - SYS Underwear!

All undies are 20% off when you buy 3 pairs or more - FOREVER! It's like our old mix and match bundles but even better, because now it includes EVERY style of underwear we offer on the website! The 20% off discount is automatically applied when you add 3 or more pairs to your cart!

That's $60 for 3 pairs. (I didn't go to school for math, I played Neopets.)

WARNING: Our catalogue now includes an 18+ disclaimer in the SYS Underwear section! Please be mindful these sections are for adult eyes only!

Thank you while we merge these two brands back together so that you can find them all in the same place without needing to worry!

https://nomadcomplex.com/

To follow everything from SYS Underwear, it also has its own separate socials! It's @SYSUndies on both Telegram and Bluesky!

✨FRUIT LOUPS REMINDER✨

Just a little reminder that Fruit Loups are available for PRE-ORDER from now until July 6th for Tees and Tanks! We sold out of these quickly so we want to give everyone one more chance to make sure they can pick one up. Gay.

❕ATTN: USA Customers!❕

The De Minimis Exemption is going away on August 29th, 2025 via an executive order signed on July 30th, 2025.

This means that as of this posting, any customers in the USA will have from now until August 28th to place orders before we are forced to shut down orders to your country.

What is the De Minimis Exemption?

The De Minimis Exemption is a rule that allows any low value packages of $800 USD or less entering the United States from a different country to bypass the need for formal customs clearance, and therefore enter the country “duty-free”. This allows U.S. customers to receive items from a different country much faster and cheaper.

What does this mean for you?

1. On August 28th and onward, we will no longer be able to accept orders from customers in the United States. Given the volatility of a sad little man who changes his mind as often as he changes his diaper, we cannot receive clear instructions on how to navigate these new changes from any carrier. We will need to shut down orders and assess the new rules as they are implemented. Please note that we hope this is as temporary as can be, but can offer no guarantees.

2. As of August 29th, all US-bound shipments will require a formal customs clearance. The problem is that right now, it is unclear if merchandise purchased past August 29th can still be shipped to the United States duty-free as per the USMCA agreement on all Mexican and Canadian manufactured goods. As we cannot get a clear answer on this, we will be forced to pause US-bound orders placed August 28th and beyond.

If USMCA compliant goods do end up being duty free, they will still require a formal customs clearance but will not have any other associated costs for the customer. The clearance costs will be covered by us.

Please note that if this does end up being the case, we will able to relist Graphic Clothing and Stickers ONLY as our underwear, gaming mats, enamel pins and wristbands are manufactured outside of the USMCA allied countries.

tl;dr - USA shipments will be cut off on August 28th. Best case scenario, we are able to open orders back up shortly after for Graphic Clothing and Stickers only.

Please note that all of this is subject to changing on a dime, and we will do our best to keep you as informed as we are about these changes as they come up. We know that no one enjoys this sort of volatility, and the chances of TACO happening are real, please remember we are presenting facts as we have them available to us to the best of our ability.

Path of Most Resistance is restocked!

Fittingly, we were able to squeeze in one more run of Path of Most Resistance into the works for next week, just got the word like 15 minutes ago. Any orders with this design placed after this messages posting will ship next week Monday-Tuesday!

We've got it on Tees, Tanks, LST's and Hoodies.

https://nomadcomplex.com

Due to a quickly shifting landscape, the last date we can accept any American-bound orders is going to be August 23rd at 11:59pm. Any orders placed before this time will be duty-free, or we will cover the costs associated with them, guaranteed.

https://nomadcomplex.com/

As of this posting, we are business as normal until the date and time mentioned above. There is nothing to be concerned about.

Right now our staff is working around the clock and sleeping at the office to get all of your orders shipped as soon as they come in. We'd also like to stress that while we love our furry merchandise, please make sure you prioritize your basic needs above all else over any last minute purchases. We'll be okay, and you should be too.

Quick summary: The problems being created by the new trade regulations imposed by the USA are sowing worldwide confusion, including within the USA itself, as systems are not in place to determine how to handle these new implementations. As a result, many major corporations and mail carriers are suspending shipments to the USA.

As of this posting, as Canadians utilizing our current carrier, we are greenlit for business as normal until the end of day Saturday.

Today it was announced that several major corporations such as eBay and Etsy would be suspending US-bound shipments on August 25th due to the De Minimis exemption going away on August 29th.

https://www.reddit.com/r/EtsySellers/comments/1mw81fa/etsy_suspends_us_bound_shipping_labels_for/

At the same time, many countries have announced a suspension of US services entirely - Notably DHL and several EU countries.

This is a great thread on the quickly evolving decisions being made by these companies in the wake of what is going on.

And this is a great blog post on how the end of the De Minimis exemption affects both small business and US customers alike.

https://stickiply.com/blogs/small-business-focus/us-tariff-changes-2025-de-minimis-impact

Our little team of two is working around the clock to stay as up to date and informed on these new rules as we can. We want to be transparent as possible so you can make the most informed decisions that you can. It's our job to keep you informed of what can affect your power in these situations. We are relaying the information to you, as it is available to us. Much larger giants such as Etsy are suspending US shipments, which means small business is hit 100x harder. We will overcome. That's a promise.

(Oh and just to cut into all this customer service speak - yeah we think it's all bullshit too, but we're doing our god damn best whether they like it or not, and want you to keep doing your best too so let's keep living our god damn lives)

We've received a few messages of confusion, so we are just clarifying - Nomad Complex is still open worldwide everywhere other than the USA!

If you reside in any country other than the USA, we are operating normally and processing orders daily still.

C’est la vie bitches. make something out of the current chaos, turn the bad into good, keep going 🙏🏻

Working on stuff, saying we’re cooking in this instance feels inappropriate tho (get it cause of the fire hahahaha)

We’re a bit behind on emails but are getting everything sorted this week. We’re still working on getting deliveries shipped worldwide once more with minimal impact.

We’ll also have some restock announcement dates soon! Thanks for bearing with us! 🙏🏻

United States of 'Murica - The website is open to you once more! Anyone in the United States is now able once again to place orders at Nomad Complex! We've been working around the clock to soften the impact of these regulatory changes, so we've got good news and blah news.

✅THE GOOD NEWS! All of our Graphic Clothing - That's Tees, Tanks, LST's and Hoodies - Are CUSMA compliant and therefore are entering the USA just as they were before! No tariffs, additional fees or costs for you as the consumer.

This means if you live in the USA and place an order for any graphic clothing, there will be no changes to how you've ordered from us in the past! WOO!

☣️THE BLAH NEWS! All of our Underwear and Accessories - That's Gaming Mats, Wall Scrolls, Wristbands, Enamel Pins - Are NOT CUSMA compliant. This means any order containing those items will be subject to the applicable tariff on each item.

EXAMPLE:

1. Two T-Shirts and a Hoodie? No tariffs. ✅
2. Three pairs of underwear? Tariffs. 💵
3. Two T-Shirts, and three pairs of underwear? No tariffs on the t-shirts, but tariffs on the underwear. ✅💵

How will I know what my total cost will be? You will find out the total cost of your order at the checkout page once your shipment method has been selected. So add the items you'd like to your cart, go to checkout and you will find out the costs from there!

Will I have to pay anything extra on delivery? NO! All tariffs and duties, if applicable, are charged at checkout. There are no extra fees or surprises during delivery, nor the headache of dealing with third party companies.

You can find the full FAQ here if you have any other questions! - https://nomadcomplex.com/pages/shipping-faq

Finally - RESTOCKS!

Our website is still a bit bare as we have been on a manufacturing freeze due to the problems of the past month. We will have restocks of EKG, TiredAF Redux, Werewolf Treats and Fight/Resist/Survive coming to the shop on October 10th! Along with a pair of new designs to boot!

Underwear restocks are going to take some time longer, and our current date for them in hand is November 7th - In time for the holidays!

Thank you for your patience while we navigate all of this stuff, it has truly been a nightmare and we wanted to have this impact the US as little as possible. Y'all fuckin rock.
