Triple-L, Huge Price Increase in the wetsuit-27%

[Hoosier]

Hi all divers,


Triple-L increased their prices.

In Female 7mm jump wetsuit, there is 27% increase in the price. It was $69.08 on October 4, 2004. They charge $87.41 right now. Don’t you think it is too much within 10 days? In Pegasus BCD, there is also 5% increase in the price.

In addition, they also changed the guaranty period from 14 days to 7 days.

They are being tainted like any other LDS? Any opinion?


Check out the price list on October 4, 2004.

They were already so low, I don't mind. I would still buy my 3mm jumpsuit at the new price.

 

[Backtanner]

Still seems pretty cheap to me. When was their last price increase?

 

[Hoosier]

I just purchase the following items from Triple-L
I will post the review about the product with some pictures.

It is still good price compared to any other shops. But, I mean that their price is drmatically being increased over time. In a 7 mm wetsuit, it was $54 on May as some member posted in this board. It was $69 on October 5. It is $87.41 now.


Mr. Jack Cummins,
The wetsuit will be over $100 this December in this increase rate?

Still decent prices, just not the dazzling deal it used to be. However, there is now free shipping.

However, there is now free shipping.

Fedex no less

Had they been low balling to gain market share? After all how can they sell gear like they're buying it in a whole other world?

French management running a company in Vietnam, no I am not holding a grudge. Buy American or Canadian at least. The sound you hear is jobs and money leaving this country.

The sound you hear is dollars flowing toward best value. If you want to compete... be competitive.
