Price Changes - posted 10/20/2008

To: Our Valued Customers

The residential and commercial cabinetmaking industry has experienced significant cost increases now for several years. Recently those cost increases have become dramatic both in frequency and magnitude. Virtually every supplier that we represent has implemented increases in the last ninety days with many others announcing increases effective in the next sixty days. Many of these increases have been double digit increases. Some have come without any notice. The major reasons for these increases are rapidly rising fuel and steel prices.

As a result of this tumultuous environment it has become difficult to insure that the most up to date pricing for our offerings are communicated to you in a timely manner.

Here is what we are doing to help. Effective immediately we will post all visible vendor price adjustments and their timing on our website www.courterco.com.  We will work diligently to keep this list current, although, as noted above, some increases are occurring with little or no warning.  All new orders will reflect the new pricing.  We will be happy to confirm pricing with you when you order.  Also, all faxed order acknowledgements will reflect the current pricing, please feel free to request this service at the time you order. 

We regret that this situation has caused such confusion and we appreciate your understanding as we find more efficient ways to partner with you.
