Well Im not shire if this is thread worthy but flat face have put dump truck prices up. It may have something to do with the new packaging . Heres a linkhttp://flatfacefingerboards.com/webstore/products/Dump-Trucks-%252d-Random-Color.html


They used to be 4.00 now their 6.00

The new packing is worth probably around 1.50, and they need a profit, so that might explain the price rise.

Not really... Is the same plastic bag, the only difference is that these have a piece of card stock that is run through a printer. It's probably because of the packaging, and the sticker. But the packiaging alone isn't that expensive

Yeah and the bushings have gone up about 50C...

AND they are out of stock on BRT silver 32's!!

They'll be back. Obviously printed card isn't worth the price raise but it's a good excuse to raise them

Well i dont mind. My chinas cost about $2.5 and shipping is the same, so maybe i'll get more people buying the exact same trucks from me instead

Mine has a fancy, but more DIY packaging too.

Dang, 8.50 shipped for china trucks.
Seems alot...

Still gotta pay to get the packaging made.

i know i got one of the last ones last week,


i guess the place mike gets dump trucks might be charging more

$6 is still fine compared to $60+ for BRTs. I'm okay with the price.

60 dollars is worth it IMO, but I agree six bucks is still a great price.

There are plenty of trucks that are less expensive that are still great. Woodys Fvcker trucks for example.

I'm sorry, but a price increase just because of new packaging isn't on. As a retailer you sell the product for what it's worth, or what people will pay for it. I didn't ask for new packaging, so just send me my trucks in a mailer and knock half the price off thank you very much. If you want to make your packaging nicer then absorb the cost or don't do it. Otherwise the customer is paying for your own vanity.

^my thoughts basically.

when I made packaging for the setup kits I didn't increase the price. hell when I added tape and wheels I didn't increase the price.

I could have understood 5 dorra though, shame they went to 6.

I wanted to order a set of Chemistry trucks earlier...
$7 for shipping! I swear it used to be $2.50..

5 would be a nice clean number. Still, if rather give my buisness to Kerry :p not to mention you get way more stuff in the wide setup kit.

usps put their prices up, but yea, all US companies can no longer ship overseas for super cheap any more. the stamp on my tradecraft deck was 6.50 dorra

kind of sucks, but it's interesting to see if that has any effect on US<->EU sales

it was quite cheap when I shipped the finger scooter to Matty, it was only £2

My shipping price was 3 USD, so about 2 GBP.
I don't know why the prices are going up so high, but it stinks for you guys in the UK, if the item is coming from the US, or vice-versa.
But the flatface price rise might also be because of this shipping companie's price rise.

I don't mind Flatface prices at all, the conversion to GBP is ridiculously good

Us sending across stuff is a different price because we start with Royal Mail normally, whereas they start with UPS. Different prices and different exchange rates.

Yeah. Maybe mike is including bushings with these?

^if he was, it'd say, I'm sure.
