Price Increases
We got a letter from NCFI saying that they will be increasing prices of all of their polyurethane systems 7 cents per pound on September 13, 2010. Has anyone heard of increases from other companies yet? Usually when one ups the price, the others are soon to follow.

Demilec had an .08 cents a pound increase but my distributor ate it to keep our prices the same. Another reason why IDI will stay my distributor. |

Just received notice that NCFI has rolled back its seven cent price increase attempt. No increase at this time. |

Sounds like they were over charging you buy 8 cents to begin with... |

contacted personally by sales rep. have not received letter. All of us would like to get more money for our services and/or materials - current conditions do not allow. I know darn well what we do is worth more but there are alot of guys doing what we do. Hard, if not impossible, to distinguish quality workmanship and get a premium for it. DL123 - are you trying to tell me that if you tried to get 5% more for your work that you were really overcharging your customers. Many contractors are in survival mode, not profitability. I, for one, would like to have some money in the bank at the end of the day instead of just being paid a wage. Can't have this much fun tomorrow. |

Try shopping around for a new distributor. |
