i cant belive they have hiked the go extention so much ,from £49 to £79 whats that all about ?

i wont be buying one at that price thats for sure .

i would rather buy another second hand go or classic id get 2 metres and a house for about £200 not much more than just 2 extentions

 

whats going on omlet

[chuckmum6]

Wow that is a huge jump, do Omlet not know there is a recession?

[Bramble]

It's the same HUGE price rise on the classic extension and converter, too. After much deliberation, I ordered mine online on Sunday and it arrived yesterday, it cost about £53 I think with delivery which I thought was a lot, but I noticed that the price had rocketed to £79 by Tuesday, presumably £80+ with delivery? There's no way I'd have ordered one at that price - I think Omlet need to be VERY careful with their pricing?

[Eggy Bread]

I agree, how can they have gone up £30! Had been deliberating whether to get a second extension panel to give my girls a bit more room when I'm on holiday and TBH £49 was bad enough but £79 just seems crazy, ther's no way I can afford one now.

[lillybettybabs]

Thats a big price increase, I think they need to be careful!

[Dizzy-Deb]

Dont forget the VAt is going up in Dec too to 20% so thats another increase on the way.

 

The country sure is heading towards a double-dip recession.

[ubereglu]

Ouch, when and WHY has that happened?

[Bramble]

The price rise was on Monday or Tuesday of this week, but as to why, I can only guess that Omlet don't want to sell anymore?

[Patricia W]

Haven't metal costs increased? And haven't manufacturing costs risen?

 

In my experience, companies as small as Omlet only raise costs when there is no way they can absorb them anymore.

 

I think we should anticipate that more manufactured good will rise in price over the next few months. NEXT, for instance, is forecasting an 8% rise in the cost of their clothes next year. And that is without factoring in the 20% VAT cost kicking in for January.

 

That's the way of the world now..

I agree - do think the price rise is a bit excessive though, and why not have it at the higher price since last week when they released it

 

Put me off buying an extension for the for now anyway!

I'd have to agree with this too, it's not the fact that the price has gone up, it's the amount of the increase (I think it's 60%+), that's very different from 8%?

[the-real-tinkerbell]

i understand that costs are rising but it is a massive price hike nearly doubled the price ,it has out priced me and i think it will alot of people ,it means i can only have 2 exbatts in omlet cottage

[Tutti Frutti]

Blimey Maybe I need to get the Cube run sorted soon!

[daxigirl]

I was waiting to get my chickibodies settled in to see how they got on so was rather horrified that I had missed the boat on the run extension pricing, I've still ordered it though as I'm sure the girlies will appreciate it. Delivery was £5.99 on it and some other bits.
