Price Increase Coming

[Guest vclimber]

Yeah, It's called gouging!!! If you sell through a distributor, then cut them out, you put the extra into your pocket. When you then proceed to increase further, its called gouging. When they cut out SAGR, I called the corporate offices and spoke to them. They said that no increase would follow the change. Thay also added three reps to the northeast alone, 1 for retail, 2 for direct to end user sales. These workings alone made me decide to not use the product any longer, but the price increase, thats just salt in the wounds.

You folks inspired me!

It still puzzles me that Solargard went back to distribution?? I am also puzzled that 3M switched distributors in the central USA from EPD to Interwest??? What's that all about??

We are hearing rumors about Home Depot playing with flat glass and MMM. .that will ultimately kill their channel or everyone else depending upon how and if that moves forward.

Window tinting. .always interesting!

Good one. I knew you had it in you.

Well until about 2 years ago this area was with Interwest. Then they moved us to EPD. Finally now we're back to interwest.

You can add Madico to the list of price increases. An inside source told me this week that they have one coming and possibly another in 6 months.
