We do this for YOU!

It is our company policy to always, always, ALWAYS shop, find and bring our customers the highest quality products at the best prices.

As most of you have probably noticed, retail prices across the board are going up. This year we have seen some serious price hikes from some of our manufacturers. While we know this is inevitable, we do question the increases, and go on the hunt for better pricing and possibly new, comparible products to keep our customers happy, and quite frankly, to keep us as competitive as possible.

We are usually successful in our hunt! For example, we recently made the change to the Dynarex brand for our stockinette, shoe covers, tongue depressors and cotton tipped applicators. While the price still went up slightly, it was nowhere near what the increase would have been had we not made the change.

If you are waiting to buy that scooter, or that lift chair, do it now. At this rate, it could save you quite a bit of money!

Price Changes


Yesterday, one of our suppliers sent us notice of price changes. These are common in our line of work and we try to keep our prices very current and change them when they happen. I do know that some medical supply companies have a bigger margin built into their prices so they change their prices less frequently, maybe once a year.

We figure our customers benefit from our extra work because we always keep them as low as possible, but thats just us....

Anyway, I am always surprised that in a list of about 50 items, there are always one or two items that the price actually goes down. Its always a happy surprise and I sometimes wonder to myself if someone in their accounting department made a mistake.

I picture the exchange going something like this:

"Hey Bob, I think you inadvertently raised the price on this item last time."

"Oh, thanks for chatching that, Gene, I'll fix that with the next price change announcement."

I have worked in accounting, so I know first hand that is about as exciting as it gets in accounting. But I love my accountant friends, nonetheless!

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!
