Add in increased freight charges, unless the spas get shipped somehow without the use of fossil fuels.

--- Quote ---Imagine what will be happening to the price of spas because of all this. Why should it affect hot tubs?
Acrylic
PVC plumbing
foam insulation
vynil spa cover
foam core in spa cover
plastic wrap to protect foam core
the list goes on and on and on all these items are petrolium derivitives. So the next time your customer asks, "why are these dern thangs so 'spensive?" ......

foam core in spa cover - up almost 40% in the last year
plastic wrap - up 40% to 50% in the last year
the metal reinforcemet for the foam has trippled in the last years

Yeah, and people want to complain at the retail price of a QUALITY custom measured and fitted cover of $425.00 when heck they can buy "the same thing on the inter net for half that!" No offense Doc, but IMHO if you cant see it, touch it, try it or prove it, why would you buy it!

no offence back at ya Frank..... ummmmmmmm, is your capitolization of the word "quality" suposed to mean something????.....
Actually, $425 isn't bad if youre going out to measure for the cover, and then delivering it (taking away the old cover too?)... all of that is worth at least $100.......
And, $425 is a fair price if you're offering Ideal, Prestige or Sunstar (I have letters of their latest price increases).
But, I think you need to look at the big picture as well. There's a LOT of web sites selling spa covers, and they're not going to go away......... A lot of them ALSO sell a quality product.. and yes, there are some selling junk.
