Over the past months, we’ve shared a few updates about the new tariffs affecting padel equipment imported into the United States. Well, the next step in that process is happening now: brands are adjusting their prices and as a result, we are too.
It’s not something we take lightly. But here’s what’s really going on, and what we’re doing to continue offering you the best experience possible.
It's Not Just Us
Let’s be clear: we’re not raising prices because we want to. We’re doing it because we have to.
Due to recent import tariffs and supply chain costs, brands have started increasing their prices across the board. On top of that, most suppliers are now applying tariffs surcharges on every order we place.
What Is MAP Pricing and Why Does It Matter?
You may have heard of something called MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) and we talked about it in previous articles. It’s a pricing policy that most major brands enforce across all retailers in the US, from Padel USA to others. It ensures fairness and consistency: no one is supposed to advertise below the official retail price set by the brand.
So when you see new prices on PadelUSA.com, know that they are not randomly chosen as they are set by the brands and enforced via MAP
Found a Lower Price? Let Us Know.
We do our best to monitor the market, but sometimes a site slips through the cracks and advertises below MAP, whether intentionally or not. If you come across one, just send us the link. Not only will we make sure it’s addressed quickly, but we’ll also do everything we can to give you the best service and value by shopping with PadelUSA.com
Our Mission, Sharper Than Ever
Even as the market evolves and prices adjust, our mission remains the same at its core. It continues to grow as we do, adapting to the needs of players and the direction of the sport. At Padel USA, our purpose is clear. We are here to provide exceptional value to padel players in the United States by offering the best possible experience when it comes to buying padel equipment.
We are not here just to list products. We want to promote the ones we genuinely believe in. The ones that serve real players and add value to their game. Everyone has different tastes and preferences, but let’s be honest, there are too many products on the market. In reality, only a handful are truly necessary to satisfy the needs of the entire community. That is why we are becoming more selective about what we offer.
We choose to work with brands that share our vision for the long term. Brands that we believe will still be standing when the dust settles. We will talk more about this in a future article focused on the mission of Padel USA. But for now, just know this. We will keep doing everything we can to bring you the right products, from the right brands, with the right service behind them.
Final Word
Yes, prices are going up. But the reason is clear, and it’s shared across the entire industry. At Padel USA, we’re doing everything in our power to make sure your experience remains as smooth, reliable, and positive as ever.
