Even better, on top of that
I was reading here in the Pacific NW
that our Natural Gas Utility (Avista)
is requesting a 24+% price increase for residential customers
this fall, and then in parenthesis we read commercial customers
increase will be almost 50% higher!!
I run a fairly big screenprint operationwith Gas dryers
and gas heat in the building.
Yahoo, am I looking forward to this winter.
Funny how when the prices go up, and when things stabilize
the prices never seem to go down.
We've had a UPS fuel surcharge for darn near a year now
When will it end.
Now that gas prices have reached $3.00/per gallon, how many of you plan on adjusting prices to maintain a profit margin? My assumption is all of our suppliers will be raising prices soon because it is going to hurt them if they don't. (They do have to have the items shipped to them in some way.) UPS charges a gas fee as prices go up so it costs us more money to receive the items. I just ordered 6 Outer Banks polo shirts for a customer and it was $15 for shipping. I plan on raising my prices by 5% this weekend to help the profit margin to cover the extra shipping costs. I was trying to avoid this but there comes a time that you have to do it to remain in business. I was wondering if anyone else has the same idea.
