As Amie mentioned in her post, shipping costs have increased, most likely a little thing called a fuel sur-charge. I notcied the increase the last time I shipped vai UPS.
So how about Axiom not offering free shipping, and also when new customers decide to exchange speakers in the first 30 days, perhaps the customer should pay the shipping cost for thier indecision.
I agree with several members on the forum, this discussion of the small cost increase is absurd in my opinion. If one thinks that Axiom is simply increasing costs because if increased sales, or to fund a new jet for Ian, they do not understand how Ian operates the Axiom company.
If cost increases of Axiom products is going to be an issue for some, I wish them well in finding a company that does not do it.
