New year, new price increases...

Sorry to say that the price of the US dollar is affecting imports from the US and the distributors and manufacturers have to pass the costs down the chain. This is also affecting our Canadian manufacturers, as many (or most) of their components come from the US. Price rises are on the way from Prairie Shot (Score shells), Gryphon (binary targets) and most of the new stock of ammo coming in this year.
 
No surprise there. With a 84 cent dollar it had to be coming. Maybe look to European ammo? (CAD is actually up against the Euro since this time last year)

But on a brighter note....because of the big drop in fuel prices shipping charges set by Canpar will fall dramatically.....right??....right??? #notholdingbreath ;)

That was funny. Man, I had to wipe up the coffee on my desk after I spat it out.

No kidding! I see Canada Post is still charging the fuel surcharge on my shipments, and I won't be holding my breath that that'll disappear any time soon. On the flip side, BC Ferries were very quick to remove the fuel surcharge from their rates.... that was one heck of a surprise!

What he said. Funny yes but true, European ammo is becoming more prevalent and their dollar isn't doing as well as ours, they are looking for more orders for sure and the shipping from Europe should be coming down. Plus a lot of the European ammo is really good!!
 
drove 120 miles yesterday looking for .22 ammo. What anyone can find is junk - failures to fire. Didn't find any .22 in 5 stores.

All of the airline industries are maximizing profits with the current price of oil so low. they all say they are using hedged oil from last year so the price at which they bought oil at the time is reflecting on the price of air travel and shipping. so next year both should be cheaper - will that happen, most certainly not.

Diesel prices have no dramatically fallen yet, and even if they did they would just call the charge something else like a service fee.

Hey Kate, that reminds me... Can you get European RWS ammo? I also shoot an air tank type pellet rifle and the RWS match pellets are insanely more accurate than anything else made. I hear their center fire rifle ammo is as close to match hand loads... or even better depending how precise you are. *wink*
 
Why do you drive to shop guy? Your computer is right at the desk where it always is.

You'd be surprised to know how many small gun-stores don't do any online business whatsoever.

Also Canadian Tire, Walmart, and TSC don't sell ammo online.

Mostly I agree with you though. Much easier to just order from ammosupply.ca and have it come to my front door.

We can get RWS pellets - just PM me with what you're after and we can order it in. Ditto the ammo.
 
How much of a price increase are you expecting for the Score shotshells? I've been shooting an awful lot of it lately, I may have to stock up!
