Credit Crunch....

I sit here writing this as I have a few spare minutes whilst getting my lunch down me, before getting the mail order out for the day.....

The buzz word on everyones lips is the current recession and credit crunch we are in the midst of!!! How did we get here, who is to blame - I'll let the politicians and social commentators toss that one about amoung themselves whilst I get to the matter that directly concerns us - namely keeping prices as low as possible to give you guys the best deals we can!

As usual it's not that simple.... as the pound has been underperforming against the dollar, yen, euro.... you name the currency we are getting alarm bells ringing from suppliers left right and centre that trade prices will be going up within the next week.... not good news... This will have the knock on effect that our retail prices will increase too - hopefully not by a lot, but we will have to see what increase is imposed upon us by the suppliers before we can set new retail prices. In any case, we will still be doing our utmost to keep out prices the lowest in the UK.

On the plus side of things.... all of our customers that have been waiting for Traxxas stock, there now seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel.... we are expecting a shipment of all the Traxxas cars available before Christmas now, so we should be able to get them out to you in good time!!!

Well, thats my lunch finished - off to get packing on all the mail order. As usual if you have any questions or need help with your RC car drop me and email or give me a call at the shop!

See ya!
