Title: Pendraken Price Increase - Feb 1st
Post by: Leon on 17 January 2018, 11:15:40 PM

We mentioned this in our Plans for 2018 thread already, but for anyone who missed it, there will be a small price increase coming on February 1st.  It's been 2 years since our last one and unfortunately there's been a variety of increases in our costs over that time.  The metal prices are showing no signs of coming back down due to the raw materials being priced in dollars and the exchange rates not looking like they'll be recovering in the near future.  We've also taken on two new casting staff members to help us work through the orders quicker and get them out in the post to you folks.  By the end of this year, I'd like us to have an average order turnaround of under 7 days (It's currently between 10-14 days for those interested).

As a rough guide, the price increase is 6% and will look like this:

Regular 30 foot / 15 cav packs = £4.95 --> £5.25
WWII foot = £1.65 --> £1.75
WWII tanks / guns = £2.80 --> £2.95


The increase will mainly affect our figures, other items like resin, flags, third party products will be unaffected.  There might be 5p here and there on bases and paints but we've not decided on those yet. The pricing on custom orders will remain the same at 20p per foot / 40p per mounted.

So get your orders in before Feb 1st!

Just two moulds left to be done, we've had to delay a couple of them to get some Naps moulds done for a big order, but not long to go now.

I have no issues with the price rise.

Not sure what I need at the moment, but I am sure I will think of something  :)

Just looking through the Dungeon Rooms/Corridors sections and I noticed that about of the items had gone up by 15/20p whilst the other half hadn't.  Was this intentional or just collateral damage from running the price increase algorithm?

Small room, Large room doorway and Large room extension £3 to £3.20
Medium room doorway, Medium room extension, Corner T-junction and Crossroads £2.50 to £2.65

Cheers!

That's a glitch in the increase so those will need reducing back to the old prices.  I'm away until Tuesday but I'll get that done as soon as I'm back.

Cool, no problem, not in any rush - just trying to decide whether to expand my mega-dungeon should I receive any birthday money later this month  <:-P ;)

Check the Mongol Yurts as well, are they supposed to be £3.20?

Yeah, anything which was in a bracket increase (so £1.65 > £1.75 or £2.80 > £2.95) would be affected even if it wasn't part of the increase.  It usually doesn't affect too many products but I'll need to go through the catalogue and check everything.
