Price increase coming Aug 2, 2021 from Hancock and Moore / Jessica Charles
The new price books are in the mail, and will be effective August 2nd. The 4.5% surcharge that was in effect is going away and another 3% will be added across the board on all items, including promotional ones. When they have only a surcharge, its designed as temporary - when they print a new price book (as they are doing) consider them permanent. There will be no sale periods from the factory in 2021 or 2022 - so you can save yourself 3% by ordering before August 2nd from the dealer of your choosing.
The shipping industry is going up as well. Here's my landed cost from H&M to my warehouse for (1) Your Way Motion Sofa and (2) Your Way Recliners that just arrived yesterday. Two years ago this would have been $ 200.00. Add to that my local part time delivery guys want to be paid more and fuel costs as well as truck repairs have increased significantly and I have close to $ 500 just to get these three pieces in the customer's home. We are in the process of increasing local delivery rates to account for all this and will soon have a zip code chart rate, with a surcharge for pieces weighing over 225 lb as I have to send a third guy on delivery for the heavy dual recliner sofas and loveseats.
