Pricing

Why do other retailers sell the same product at a cheaper price?

We use the supplier RRP (Recommended Retail Price). There are retailers who opt to sell their products at a lower price which is at their discretion. We endeavor to provide competitive pricing and are always open to feedback from clients. However, we cannot guarantee that we will always be able to beat their price. Rest assured that we are exploring all options.

Why has there been a price increase on your products? Is there no way to let me know that prices will change?
Price changes occur frequently on the shop and as per supplier needs. A lot of the suppliers price will change according to markets (increase or decrease) or even a demand in supply chain. Our prices will always be as per the supplier RRP.
