Ah, I see you’re a man of culture as well. We’re favorable towards the Jeld-Wen folks, but our Andersen rep is pretty cute, so we use them here and there to keep her around
Savvy strikes again!

I guess some people never herd the saying there's no such thing as a free lunch
This reminds of when the government tax corporations. I own a small family corporation and employee around 20 people, tax me all you want and will be mailing in a check for that amount. Then guess what you stupid fucks, that believe taxing me will pay for your free programs.
I raise my prices just like EVER other large or small corporation / company to cover these increased taxes. I don't PAY SHIT the people that hire me or buy those products do.
Now if you buy a product that is offering free shipping it only to compete with others offering free shipping, it's built into the costs. Now if the company you are buying from and they are running a special offer for free shipping then great you were able to save a few bucks. So actually they are just reducing the profits or trying to dump some overstocked items
I have never understood why one side believes that taxing companies at a higher rate will do what they think. All they do is turn companies into larger tax collectors for the .gov and drive up costs. No one absorbs them, they pass that increase right along to the end user so the very folks who agree with and want that crap wind up paying more just like everyone else.
I have a total of 9 invoices from Savvy. Totaling $6163 between 2011 and 2015. Everything was top notch. Gerald sometimes even the phone! So I am a happy Savvy fanboy and then some!
THis is the body lift in 2011
T-shirt is great. Color black matches my Jeep.

so the body lift was the same price from 2011 to 2021 and then jumped almost 30% in one year. That's exactly what I'm talking about with inflation. We signed a contract with a GC to build a house last August and the cost jumped 20% by the time we actually got our plans finalized and were ready to break ground in January. Guess what hasn't gone up 30% this year? My paycheck. Let's go Brandon, indeed.
It's pretty incredible that Savvy hasn't continously increased their prices. Especially when all of their competitors did back when Trump put the tarrifs on metals.
It sounds like you might want to talk to your employer about increased cost of living. And by living, I mean Jeep parts.

Aluminum is dumb. We've been averaging 1800 a metric ton, now it is averaging 2400 and higher.
You either raise prices or quit making the product. It is getting ridiculous though.
OP
Oh ya. I have people That do that for me anymores. I sell em all. Just depends on lead time now. Silverline vinyl regular series is like 2 weeks gold. I am in Arkansas and have taken clients on private jets to the Andersen plant 2 times over the years. Good times. Love the brand.Ah, I see you’re a man of culture as well.

Well I guess it goes to show you that 35% of the people can’t admit when they made a wrong decision. Ask them to name half a dozen things Biden has done they are prou of
Biden didn’t do anything lol.Well I guess it goes to show you that 35% of the people can’t admit when they made a wrong decision. Ask them to name half a dozen things Biden has done they are prou of
I’ll just leave this here.
That’s really cool, they seem like a great company. Andersen opened a massive manufacturing facility in 2019 just a couple hours south of me. Pretty impressive place if you haven’t been. I think Heritage (owned by Andersen) is working on a facility too.
We just picked up a vinyl manufacturer that has a 20-day lead time from order to delivery. Really nice for remodels and middle class residential. We deal mostly in aluminum/wood clad for the higher end homes.
Chatted with a manufacturer who uses special mill runs of aluminum tube. They have blanket orders. The last one was placed a year before the order was fulfilled and they do not do the run unless it is paid in full. 6 weeks after delivery they were sent a bill for the difference in price equal to about a 2 dollar per pound increase. Mill runs are not low quantities.
8 weeks waiting for steering box skid and motor/trans skids. If I didn't just buy some Milwaukee tools on sale, I would have put an order in for the GTS.
And, I need my tummy tucked ..... for the Jeep that is.

That's some dirty pool, right there. We let customers place blankets too... But we honor our prices. Next order though...
