We have posted all the recent price increase letters in our Downloads area. While we have always tried to be perfect in keeping up with these letters so that we can show our customers, we are human and can make a mistake. If you notice a price increase letter is missing, then please leave us a comment somewhere so that we can look into it and post the price increase letter.

We offer these letters to our customers as a way to remain transparent: we keep our markups at the bare minimum and thus have no choice but to pass these increases on! So we feel that it is only right for us to keep you, the customer, as informed about price increases as we are.Note: Much of our new site requires a login to view. This is simply to allow us to track who is accessing our site. This will also allow us to integrate this new system with our new ordering system in the store soon. We hope to have online ordering before too long so that our local customers can schedule deliveries, order material, or even check on the status of a special order from anywhere, 24/7! This website is the first step to that direction.
