Five Below, Inc. instructed its vendors to delay the shipment of certain goods from China before their final delivery to the U.S. This action was taken in response to escalating trade tensions and the potential impact of new tariffs.

A memo sent by shipping giant A.P. Moller-Maersk A/S on behalf of Five Below confirmed the suspension of cargo shipments. This move underscores the retailer's cautious stance amid the uncertain global trade environment.

While this decision aims to manage the company's exposure to tariffs, it also raises the possibility of near-term inventory challenges. The suspension of orders directly impacts Five Below's supply chain and its ability to stock products efficiently.
