Price Increases

[Concrete guy]

Due to sustained pressure in exchange rates (US Dollar & Euro vs Pound) we'll be putting our prices up in the new year along with many other companies. We've held our prices as we held stock bought at a better exchange rate, but as we replenish this product it's now a good 20% more expensive.

FLEX Powertools have a scheduled price increase at some point in the early new year.

So if you had a potential purchase in mind, particularly a FLEX power tool now would be a good time to buy, they're only going to get more expensive.

is this because of the brexit vote

 

[WetSaw]

Just the joys of exchange rates. The pound has been lower in value before anyone even though of Brexit.
I'm sure the price will reduce when the pound increases in value...

 

[Simons70]

Or the dollar go down!

 

[widler]

Pound fluctuates all the time .
But the mrs is putting prices next year up as she imports from china , , its gone up 20% from last year as well

 

[WetSaw]

Them bloody Chinese kids are getting so greedy..

a little truth here the pound has not fallen 20% for a total of 10 minutes it went to 1.50 to the pound
it was trading at an avarage 1.42 to the pound through out the year so the real fall in value at this
time is 13% i expect the pound to settle at 1.32 to the pound about a 7% fall but the real value today
i have negotiated with my suppliers a 14%discount for a year with cash payments and we will review
this again in a year.so negotiate hard they need your business in these hard times to ats
if you cant get them to give you a discount get on that airplane face to face they will crack

Our prices were set when the Dollar Sterling rate was $1:65 a couple of years ago, it's now $1:24 and I can't see it increasing in the near future, in fact I wouldn't be surprised to see it stabilise even lower at $1:20 long term.

We've not had a price increase since. We've negoatiated a rate with our suppliers and it's unlikely our increases will be more than 10%, it depends on the item and the volumes.

The Flex prices aren't negotiable as these are fixed by the manufacturer and are as a direct result of BREXIT as these are manufactured in Germany and priced in Euro's.

the euro has 7 mouths left we have now entered the end game .when Germany goes back to the mark
exspect a 60% increase as they wont be able to use the poverty of others to devalue
there goods .time to get in front and start looking for new suppliers .the end game is coming take a good look at whats happening in the world and move on .while there is still time

things will only get dearer while we stay in the eu once out you will see big price falls why
we can rid our self s of eu anti dumping dutys on goods and food
which currently adds between 10 to 40% on the cost of living in the uk

why are BMW Mercedes Volkswagen to name a few 15 to 20% cheaper in the US even after 10 to 20%
import duty think about it .

will the bankers realy leave the uk and go to the EU with all there new and incoming regulations
ever tried to do banking in france after 1 oclock on a friday .banks will avoid risk at all cost
and the EU is the biggest risk in the world at the moment to the banking system .the odds of a
eu claps have more than doubled .

in less than 3 years the manufacturing base in the eu will be in free full with India taking over
they have aready this year spent billions of dollars on new production lines

the youth unemployment in the eu are a lie .they do not take into account all thoughs
that have left and are working in the US UK AUSTRALIA NEW ZEALAND and so on
who is going to rebuild these broken country's.in the eu .

www. world wide web .the day of the first click was the end of the EU the day it became a dinosaur

we need to think decades ahead not 1 or 2 years .

[widler]

That's the agenda of the 'stay' lot ray , ignore the long term and just concentrate on the few months after the vote
Plus ignoring the years of poverty we have had since being in the eu ! Not saying its the eu's fault we have had some very bad recessions in my life , but we have been in the eu nearly all my life
Im all for change and want a better GB, if it means me having to pay a few quid extra for my hols or tiles or cutting blades this year, im not arsed in the slightest

 

[stephenoneill]

We hold the power here when it comes to businesses moving abroad to cut production costs.its us who buy these cheap imported goods .if we really cared we would buy goods made in our countries.and support jobs here.

It may be a surprise to know that despite me living, working and having a life here I voted out. How it will affect me I don't know but I believe it is in the best interests of the UK.
