Evercade Store Funstock Pauses Orders Due to Trump Tariffs

Funstock, a store known for carrying the Evercade, Super Pocket, and game cartridges used with both systems, announced it will pause all US orders and may experience issues with pre-orders as a result of the tariffs instituted by President Donald Trump. While other stores such as Amazon can carry these Blaze Entertainment consoles, handhelds, and cartridges, the retailers often don’t often pre-orders and may take longer to get the products. While all pre-orders for customers in the US that haven’t shipped are affected, the pause will start on April 28, 2025. This only affects the United States, and not other North American countries like Canada. 

In the statement about the situation, Funstock said this change is completely due to the Trump tariffs being inflicted and to potentially prevent “unexpected charges.” It also noted this is the first preliminary action ahead of more definite ones following further US government decisions. 

For new purchases, people in the US won’t be able to make any pre-orders or buy in-stock items starting on April 28, 2025. This means someone could place an order now for any of the Evercade systems, accessories, cartridges, or Super Pocket items. If it is in-stock, it will ship as normal. If it isn’t, then it will fall into the uncertain pre-order state. 

With existing orders, it’s more uncertain what will happen with things. Funstock said more concrete answers will come by June 17, 2025 as the store isn’t sure how Trump tariffs will affect those. 

This comes alongside some major Evercade releases. For example, at the end of 2024 the coming in June 2025, as is a NeoGeo Arcade 1 cartridge in July 2025.

The Funstock US pre-order and purchase pause for US orders on items like the Evercade consoles and games at the online store due to Trump tariffs starts on April 28, 2025.
