YAY!! I just installed my first insinkerator!! Damn hard getting under the sink to those things but I did it and I'm proud of myself!!
In addition to fuel costs rising they have now instated the VAT tax which is on all imports from China. All of our vendors are raising their prices about 4 x's a year as opposed to the usual 2x. Freight rates are soaring and the fuel tax surcharges are running close to 18%. No time to raise your prices in such a competitive market for all products but just how long can a business expect to absorb the added expenses before he must raise his prices?
I'm hoping for the best and just trying to watch my senseless spending but every now and then you just gotta rock!
