Default Price Increase?

Did you guys recently raise your prices on several items? I was browsing the site and some items seem to have increased in price but I can't recall what the prices actually were before.

I noticed that to..my guess is because our dollar is weaker now.

I'm pretty sure its because of the dollar, when the dollar was good they dropped prices

I assumed it was because of the dollar. I didn't really pay attention to prices when the dollar was close to par, but it's good to hear that they were equally quick to drop prices when the dollar was higher as they were to raise them when the dollar dropped.

I was in to J&L last weekend (7 days ago) and while I was there they were re-pricing most things on the shelf...all increases they told me. Must be the weak dollar.

Hey Guys,

You guessed it - the price increase has come as a result of our weak dollar.

We always work to ensure fair pricing and will continue to make pricing adjustments, when needed, to reflect that.

Just thought I would confirm your guys thoughts.

Thank you!
