We started down the road to manufacturing plastic kits in
2012, a lot has happened since then. I have seen shipping prices nearly double,
WGF has ceased to be our distributor and we have taken over that aspect of
operations. We now purchase our kits from WGF China directly.
We recently place two restock orders to bring our stock
levels back on par, the shipping costs have been an eye opener. In many cases
shipping from China to the US was more than the actual cost to manufacture a
kit. Some kits needed to be brought in line with their cost of production. This
price increase was as minimal as we could make it most items will see an
increase of 5% to 8% with some more drastic adjustments to kits that were
selling into distribution at a lower than delivered cost to us.
To maintain the health of DreamForge-Games it has become
clear that we will need to implement a price increase, effective February 15th
2016
I thank you for your continued support.

ReplyDeleteHave you considered getting a European distributor, perhaps based here in the UK which would keep the costs down for shipping to Europe.
It is a shame that you were not able to utilise Warlord Games as the main importer for Europe.
I live in Nottingham UK and highly recommend Warlord Games.
We do have UK distribution ;)
