Default Price Increases Coming

With the steel and Fule Prices going up it effect everything especially in our industry.

Tuffy , FT and ARB are all having Price increases in July.

Shipping charges are out of control! We are going to try and hold the Free shipping deal as long as we can but to date we have saved our Customers over $250,000 with Free shipping!!

Just make people think that they are getting free shipping by upping your margins........... Just kidding. Its always nice when the dollar is dropping in value and everyones costs are going up at the same time.........I think Im gonna sell my Jeep and by a pair of roller skates.

I was almost thinking about putting a shipping charge on the invoice just to show everybody how much they are really saving!

Thanks for being up front and honest as always. I don't mind that good companies raise prices becasue they have too, but it's really great when they let you know in advance, so if you were on the fence about an item you could get it and save some money. Nothing worse than waiting to buy something, then find out the price just went up.
