Axminster price hike...again!!

[woodbloke]

Is it my imagination, or have they jacked up their prices again. I've been keeping track of the Jet SS and it's jumped now to over £1500 (if memory serves) What's going on?..not the way to make friends and influence people, 'specially round here - Rob

yep - further price increases. There is a thread in the Buying section about it.

LN planes up by 10% as well, but LV down by various amounts. Strange.

Cheers

GBP hasn't sunk anything like as much against $CAD as it has against USD.

Indeed, suddenly anything imported is now very expensive. Building myself a new server a bit at a time and each month I come to buy the next set of bits and they've all gone up from the previous month.

That's what I don't get. Given the weakness of the £, it seems strange that LV products been reduced in price.

LV is a Canadian company, so they will sell to Axminster in CAD, not USD like LN. The relationship between the two hasn't changed as much - and maybe reduced commodity prices have enabled LV to cut their CAD prices?
