I know freight prices are going up, but that's hard to swallow.
It is all the costs that have gone way up.
Labor is spiking. We can't get people to hire without increasing wages.
All vendor materials are rising rapidly. Aluminum is hard to get and is expensive. Supplies of the plastic powder is being rationed and costs are rising.
Freight-in is insane. A 40 foot container used to cost $3,500 and is now quoted at $19,000 coming from Asia. We are paying for time the ships sit idle outside ports waiting their turn to unload or load.
Unfortunately, we can't maintain current pricing.
Everything is spiking so the price hike is understandable. The actual kayaks are made in USA though, correct? It's supplies in bulk you're getting from China?
