Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion What's New At Axiom Canadian Price Increase

While I sympathize with you on the one hand, your posts really sound like sour grapes... how many other things have increased in price 7% or more since you bought speakers?

I used to be able to buy a candy bar for a quarter and am still steaming about it!

I still maintain the high price increase for overseas was/is due to shipping costs as the price of fuel had gone through the roof over the last couple years, with fuel prices dropping I would hope Axiom would be doing price updates for their overseas sales, but this would take longer to realize as the courier companies appear to only update their fuel surcharges quarterly.

As Ken said CALL Axiom like you did the first time and see what they can do for you, complaining to us does no good. We can't change anything and we can only speculate as to why they are charging more for overseas purchases.

Jason -

I think you're right on. I have a UPS shipping account and received notification today that they are raising their rates 6% starting in the calendar year to cover their own rising costs...

I think what people forget is that Axiom includes shipping in their prices, so in this case they're barely keeping pace with the increased costs of shipping. Add in the wildly fluctuating costs of the dollar and you can see why costs are changing like they are. (not that I like it... but I can at least understand it)
