New tariff chaos

[This blog posting will be updated to reflect the latest changes.]

As that Orange Man didn’t understand what VAT is (nor how tariffs work) and thought of it as a tariff he had to counteract,
a 20% tariff on importing anything from the EU (that’s us) to the US will come into effect next Thursday.
Unless that Orange Man decides to postpone it at the last minute like he did few times before,
wreaking havoc on shipping companies who must know what to charge a few weeks in advance.

DHL surcharges

We expect DHL to announce new „crisis surcharges“ today. But at the moment the business-customer website is broken.

EU counter tariffs

According to WHO rules, the EU can issue tariffs in return up to the same height.
They are very good at this and have highly selectively done so for very few goods.
We expect this to happen again and to not have any effect on Silicone or Silicone sex toys imported from the US at this point. However in general Silicone may become more expensive and harder to get, like it did during the COVID-19 epidemic.

Canada shipping

Canadian postal and courier companies are changing their routing to not use the US as much as possible. They have done so in the past, since it was cheaper. This there will likely be delays and higher shipping fees.

Manually fixed duplicate colour values

For historical reason the old „colour“ attribute had two values for black.
„pitch black“ and „black“.
We have gone through hundreds of old products to convert all old „pitch black“ products to „black“ now and deleted the old value from the selection.

With so many products, house keeping in a shop like ours becomes a lot of work.

Sidewinder restocked

We got a delivery of Sidewinder Creations toys.
All toys except the Howling are back in stock.

(Yes, postings in the category „Disturbing Dildo Deliveries“ are basically copy&pasted.
There is just nothing original to write about such a thing but many people are waiting
for toys of a specific manufacturer to come in, so it’s important we post these.)

Delivery of Sidewinder toys on it’s way

A new delivery of Dildos by Sidewinder Creations (English / German).

We expect it to arrive in a few business days.

It does include custom made toys that can be configured and ordered directly in the YiffyToys web shop.

We’re back

We have returned from the TailsUp BDSM furmeet in Germany.
On Monday we will likely order new Exotic Erotics toys.
So if you want to have a custom toy ordered along, please tell us!


Tomorrows shipping of orders from the YiffyToys shop has been prepared
and we got some requests for (already prepared) paperwork from the tax office.
…welcome back to the regular business. 🙂

Bad Wolf restocked

Custom toys:
For just a few days after this delivery arrived and before we place our next order right away, it will be possible to order custom variation again. Just contact us via email, stating all the details like colour and firmnes. Then we’ll provide you with a custom product that can be ordered exactly 1 time via the regular ordering process. The only  difference is that it obviously takes longer to ship and we require it to be fully payed right away. Also for custom made products there is no 14 day return period.

Update trouble

TL:DR If you encounter any problems, please contact us!

We tested an update to the shop software on our test system and it looked fine.
However when we applies it to the production system, checkout would not work.

It took us a long time to figure out that for an unknown reason a directory of sourcecode files from one of the system modules that make up the checkout flow was…empty.
We restored from the last backup and everything SEEMS to work fine again.

We are monitoring the logs for further issues.
If you encounter any problems, please contact us!
So we can look into the matter.

So far all we see is the usual automatic exploit script trying (and failing) to perform SQL-injections in our advanced search function (that can not be attacked this way).
Nothing out of the ordinary.
