    Price increases

    We have received a small number of questions regarding the recent price increases on some of our Chinese imports, namely the JW-25a and the JW-105.
    I would like to take a moment of your time now, rather than have to reply to several individual queries.

    Lets take a moment to look at the facts
    There have not been any price increases on these products for at least seven (7) years....

    Our customers were not happy in the past with the "Chinese mystery wood" used for the stocks of these rifles, we had that changed at the factory and our current inventory reflects the changeover to hard wood with a nice grain, this costs extra....

    The factory increased their prices an average of $50.oo per rifle....

    When we signed the order the Canadian dollar was $1.01 against it's US counterpart, when we paid for the shipment it was $0.92cts, a 9% difference....

    Over the past 5 years shipping has increased by 70%....

    Nobody likes to see increases, we at Marstar know that, we have done our best to hold the line and we made every effort to have our manufacturers share the burden....

    I really don't think our increased prices are that much out of line ??

    Thank you for your continued support

    John

    Still cheaper to buy a JW-25a or JW-105, new from Marstar, than used on E.E.

    Seems reasonable to me.

    I dare say that we now have a 90 cent dollar will soon cause an increase in price for a lot of things.

    People have to expect that prices will fluctuate with the strength/weakening of the Canadian dollar... They can always try and find it cheaper elsewhere if they are so inclined!

    Thanks for the update!

    Any pics of the new wood? Maybe I was a little too critical in the other thread if there have been quality improvements.

    Yup agreed. Worst part is nothing went down when our dollar went from .60 to par.
    You can't fix stupid.
