I don’t know if you’re experiencing much of this in your particular field but in our industry we are getting hit with price increases almost every day…. and stock issues are more prevalent than ever as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Otherwise, we’re working hard and doing the best that we can.\u00a0 I wanted to write this post just to alert you to the challenges that we’re facing. In fact, below is an email I just received from a scale manufacturer mentioning their next price increase which starts July 1st. I think this is price hike number three this year for this particular manufacturer!\u00a0<\/p>\n
We continually monitor our supply chain and work hard to provide the best products at competitive prices and with a reasonable lead time. Often, the company is able to absorb cost changes in raw materials or components by improving manufacturing processes or making adjustments during our annual cycle.<\/em><\/p>\n At this time, however, we are experiencing price fluctuations of enough significance that we are compelled to increase our prices on the product lines listed below, effective July 1, 2021. Please note, the below percentages are an average for each category. Individual products may have an increase greater or less than the product line\u2019s overall average.<\/em><\/p>\n Axle Scales\u201420%<\/em>
