A smart retailer uderstands a 30% profit on a $100.00 item is not as good as a 30% profit on a $300.00 item. Our profit margins have fallen so low with msrp vs net cost we could barely pay the elecric bill. We where forced to go out and find other things to sell to make up for this price erosion. I never like to have o pay more for things , but I do like to make a living at what I love to do.

I predict that when they can deliver they will hit us with another price increase so prices will rise a total of 20-25%. Sounds and looks like greed to me !

Today, we can’t even decide which direction to move in . . .everything has become a cluster fudge. Agree with you on the COVID excuse . . it is horseshiz. The shortages and issues kicked into high gear shortly after this new admin. Can we please have the mean guy back?

True indeed. Container prices have risen Of course the Pandemic is always sited as the reason for higher commodity prices. We were energy independent, now we’re not. Fuel prices have skyrocketed since thus higher transportation fees. We need someone in the Whitehouse who can straighten out this economy.

Plus the truck fees from the port to final destination in the US has skyrocketed.
