    We want to share with you that due to the current situation with rising costs, we have been forced to raise our prices. We have seen increasing costs on everything that goes into our products. Steel and aluminum costs have risen 150-247% since February. The cardboard that we use to package our products has gone up 30%. Shipping costs have gone through the roof, and plastic has become expensive and non existent. We just last week finally got a normal shipment of our plastic storage after getting sporadic shipments since March. We have also had to use a different material which increased the price on that as well. We have delayed raising our prices, but we can no longer absorb the increases. We are proud to say that over the past 6 years, we have only had minor price increases, just to adjust for inflation. Unfortunately, since the beginning of February, for some reason, prices on everything have gotten out of control with no relief coming in the foreseeable future. We appreciate everyone's continued support. We have truly been blessed with the way our business has succeeded, and that would not have happened without our great customers. So THANK YOU!

    They are great products and still worth the costs. I don't mind paying a little more for companies that are transparent about it.

    As stated above, for a quality product and a company that is transparent you will always get business from a group like this.

    I just can't believe how out of control everything is. Every time we turn around, we are getting hit with increases or surcharges. Its ridiculous.

    Try building homes during this. Our "first time buyer" homes are going for nearly twice the price they were 2 years ago.

    Yeah, but economic ruin is a small price to pay so nobody gets the sniffles, isn't it?

    Before anyone goes flaming, it's sarcasm.


    @havasubud, it's nuts how expensive things are getting all over. The sad/scary thing is that even if/when supply comes back to a normal level there are going to be a lot of things that are just left at a higher price and the extra will be pocketed as profit. I've seen it with local services (garbage service) that bumped their prices due to high fuel costs years ago, but when fuel prices went back down their rates didn't. I would expect your suppliers to do the same.

    It’s certainly not your fault and you need to feed your family and pay your bills.
    My local hardware store owner was apologizing to me when I went to get propane the other day. Like everyone else, he had to increase his price. I know it’s not his fault.
    It’s good to know that I can talk to a neighbor, if you will, and know if I ever have an issue I can go and visit a local person. I try and do that as much as possible with everything.

    The under-seat boxes were on sale....errr....back to the original prices, about a month ago. But it appears they are back to being expensive again.

    We have a code for this forum. It is TNDRASDTCM. You can thank the current prices on what is happening everywhere as in the past two years, our costs have gone up 40% yet our retail prices have not gone up the same amount. For example, in 2017 when our long box came out, it was $699.95. We raised it to $749.95 in 2019 due to a 10% price increase in our cost. We did not pass the total cost on to the end user like most companies do. In 2020 we were hit with another 10% increase, but we left the price alone. Last year we had two 10% increases, along with a metal surcharge that is added to each order which raised it 30%, yet we only raised the price by $92.00. So we have been absorbing the increases. We have done our best to keep these affordable, but it is harder and harder with all of this inflation. Be careful who you vote for.

    That needs to ring true for everyone to remember. As a country we are afforded the best possible life... and there are people that dont agree with our way of life... those people can leave the USA.

    ESP- Great products, If I didnt have one, Id buy one to support you!
