Future Prices
BullFrogSpasMN:
Most manufacturers have passed down at least (2) wholesale prices increases + Covid related shipping/packaging/etc. surcharges in the past 12 months, there is rumbling of another 10% coming soon as well so expect everything to go up again, spas that were $10,000 2 years ago are now selling for $13,000 give or take. I saw a comment above mentioning 6-9 months, I can tell you right now NOBODY will be 'caught up' in 6-9 months or anywhere close to that date, it's going to be 18-24 months at the earliest before these supply chains and manufacturing can catch up and of course like mentioned above the pricing definitely will not 'come down' If you want a spa just best to place your order and wait for it in my opinion.
CanadianSpaTech:
Price is what it is and once it goes up it rarely comes down. It is not price that concerns me it's Quality. If you look at spas made prior to the American financial meltdown in 2008/9 and ones made in the following years quality took a big hit and sadly I think it will again. Not a lot of Chinese parts in spas pre meltdown. With domestic shortages I am seeing more and more Chinese made Spas hitting the Retail floor... and killing it.
