A Note on Tariffs and Prices…
Eggtimer Rocketry, like all electronic product manufacturers, has been hit very hard by tariffs on components in the past year. In some cases, we’ve paid over 50% of the product’s cost in additional tariffs. Just so you understand this… the money collected by the tariff does not go to the manufacturer, the distributor, or the end user (us). It goes to the government, with no benefit to us. It is an additional tax, which basically gets hidden in the cost of the purchased components. That means that our cost for tariffed components goes up.
We’ve been absorbing the tariffs for the past year, but it has become economically unsound for us to continue to do so. So, starting in January 2026 we are going to be charging a 5% tariff surcharge on all orders. We’re sorry about that… but as long as this craziness continues our hand is forced.
Welcome to Eggtimer Rocketry!
If you’re looking for information and/or support for your Eggtimer altimeters, Eggfinder GPS Trackers, or other Eggtimer Rocketry products then you’re at the right place! All of our products are unique in that they are kits, we try our best to make them easy to assemble; we use through-hole parts or 0805-or-larger SMT parts to make assembly easier. It’s really not that hard, if you’ve ever built a kit from Ramsey or SparkFun then you won’t have any trouble building an Eggtimer Rocketry kit. We abide by the old Heathkit motto: “We won’t let you fail!”
