IMPORTANT NOTICE!!! Price Increase on NEW EK Success Shipments

.

Dear Valued Customer:

On behalf of the entire International staff of EK Success, I would like to thank you for your ongoing support and for recognizing the quality, ingenuity and diversity of our products. 


We certainly realize that you have many choices and are pleased and honored that you continue to do business with EK Success. As we enter the 2012 selling season, we found the need to increase some of our prices effective February 1, 2012. Please know that competitive priceshave always been and will continue to be important to us. 


We have been diligent to not increase pricing since 2008, however, there are times whenit is necessary for a number of reasons which currently include:

• The depreciation of the U.S. dollar
• The increase in the price of a variety of commodities; plastic,zinc, packaging, crude oil. This increase impacts everything from production on a variety of products to transportation.
• The increase in the price of freight and associated surcharges.
• The increase in labor costs. Labor costs in where we source ourproducts have increased a minimum of 45% over the past 3 years.

All of our product categories will be affected by these changes and will result in an increase as of February 1, 2012.


We regret that we were not able to communicate to you earlier about this price increase, as it was implemented during our busy trade fair season.  


We thank you for your understanding and wish all of you a successful 2012!


Sincerely,
Jeff Murphy
VP of International Sales

News and outcomes like this is certainly not good for Scrap-n-Crop.com as we have always prided ourselves in passing on savings to our supporters and practicing fair pricing in our offerings.

However, we are left with no choice as the increases are far too much for us to subsidize and will be increasing the prices of only affected items/range accordingly. So if you do see a slight increase in the prices of things you had previously bought - in this case, it will mostly be punches - well, we can't help it if the cost price has escalated.

Thanks so much for understanding and your continued support.

psst… Scrap-n-Crop.com will NOT adjust prices of the old existing stock that was bought at the lower cost price. The price increase will only be applicable to the new shipment of items.

Well, we did say we practice fair trade - so, happy scrapping and buy with confidence from Scrap-n-Crop.com!
