Second Skin Rep Jon Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 We held off increasing the price as long as we could, but unfortunately there has been a price increase. The fact is that the raw material prices to manufacture these products has increased significantly just within the past year or so. The price of aluminum has risen about 30% in the past 6 months. Same thing can be said about the butyl rubber. Fuel prices, shipping costs, etc., all contribute to the price increase. You also need to remember that our products are made in the USA, not overseas. We are paying for manufacturing on US soil, with US wages, keeping US jobs. So the downside is that it costs more, but the upside is we are able to control the quality of these products to the utmost degree with no compromises! We are not cutting corners or trying to increase the profit margin. So please understand why we had to increase the price of our products. Thank you, Quote Have a question about Second Skin?

THEKINGsBACK Posted May 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 I understand that prices must go up but my thing is. If you guys knew it was comming why wasn't anybody notified. To me that's not really for to your consumer. Like last night I was about to order a decent amount that I needed to finish up my build but then I log on and see that a week ago I would have had enough money for it but not this week. Maybe next time just give a lil fore warning.. Thank you Quote he wouldnt be the first to say they did a 167 with a system like that (one that clearly DOESNT), but i have to say, he didnt beat me anywhere, ive never competed against the guy. If he thinks his does a 167, mine would probably put him in a coma. :hairtrick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bumonskateboard6 Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 (edited) I bought more second skin last week and didn't even notice the price had changed the percent of increase is not enough to drive me to another product, or for me to stop using their stuff... Hope no one that's upset ever wants to invest in anything...Prices and values change constantly.
