BPAL Order Update
I will be making the order by 5:00 PM on Friday, March 26th.
Feel free to spread the word to other Seattle BPALites.
I will be splitting shipping costs and any frimps that come our way.
The purpose of this order is to get one last one in before the price hikes go into effect. If you hadn't heard, the price hike information is below:
In the four years since our last price increase, we have tried our best to weather escalations in our operational expenses without having to raise our prices again, but we can’t anymore. The cost of manufacturing materials, including packaging, labels, bottles, and the components themselves have gone up by an average of 10-30% over the past few years, as have in-house costs such as rent and utilities. Black Phoenix is a family. We strive to pay fair wages to our employees, which include cost of living pay increases and health benefits. Health insurance for our employees has gone up 10% every year since its inception, and in order to provide for our employees as best we can, we gave them the opportunity to add a dental plan. We have not raised our prices since August 3, 2006, and have made every effort to keep the price of our products as low as possible while maintaining diversity and our high standard of quality.
The following prices will be in effect as of the Lunacy update on March 28, 2010:
General Catalogue 5ml: $17.50
Carnaval Diabolique 5ml: $22.50
The Salon 5ml: $28.00
Panaceas 5ml: $28.00
Neil Gaiman series: $26.00
Hellboy series:$26.00
The District: $26.00
Sachs & Violens (Hero Initiative scents): $26.00
Gris Grimly series: $21.00
Dark Delicacies blends will continue vary by series. Price based on components.
Single Imp's Ear: $4.00
6 pack of Imp's Ears: $22.00
The price for limited edition oils may vary, but will average $19.50 - $24.00 per 5ml, depending on the cost to manufacture.
At this time, we are left with no choice but to bump our prices slightly. I truly hope you see the difficulty of our position; this is the last thing that we want to do. With all my heart, I hope you understand that we don’t have a choice in this. We’re not raising prices because we want to make more money; we’re doing this because we have to in order to keep the business solvent.
