Price increases from 1st February 2011
Dear Customer,
Unfortunately I have to announce that we have increased our live food prices, the new pricing is as follows..
- 1 Tub = £4.95
- 2 Tubs = £8.00 (MULTI BUY)
- 3 Tubs = £10.00 (MULTI BUY)
- 4 Tubs = £12.00 (MULTI BUY)
- 6 Tubs = £15.00 (MULTI BUY)
(Prices include postage)
We have managed to hold our prices since 2006, but after 5 years of continually increasing costs unfortunately it has come to the point whereby we have had to pass an increase onto the customer. As you are all aware VAT has just increased, add to this the huge increases in fuel, electricity over the past five years, minimum wages have increased, food costs, packaging, and postage to name a few. It has now got to the stage whereby if we continue to sell live foods at £3.75 a tub we would soon be selling them at a loss. Add to this the increased number of “lost in post” parcels we have that are resent at our own expense it works out for every tub of live food that goes missing we have to sell another 23 tubs to pay for the missing one! Obviously we can not continue like this so faced with the decision of stop selling our livefoods online or passing on the increased costs we have opted for the latter. I hope you understand the reason behind this price increase and we would like to thank you for your previous and continued custom over the years.
