Xpres price increases 1st July

[Kaz]

Got this in an email from Xpres

The continuing weakness of the pound together with sharp increases in the price of raw materials and international freight have been widely reported in the media over the last eighteen months. As a business we have absorbed these additional costs for as long as possible but we are regrettably now having to increase the price of a small number of products in order to maintain our high quality standards.

These new prices will be effective from 1st July 2010 and we will therefore be honouring
pre-increase prices until 5:00pm on Wednesday 30 June.

We trust that you will understand the reasons behind this necessary decision and value your continued support.

And the new price list is here

I have had notice off most of our suppliers about price increases in July.

Not heard from our resident suppliers though, maybe they feel sorry for us all and are holding prices

Xpres have had a few increases over the last 18 months so certainly didn't absorb all the rises.
