Pedders parts prices are changing any day! Act now
Just a heads up. pete and deb are working on the price changes as I type and will be posted possibly tomorrow or the next day. So if you are on the fence about anything, today is the day to do it. We did a serious price reduction for December. The December sales were substantial and they have just finished the processing of the orders. The prices listed right now, still reflect the December sales prices.

thanks and have a great 2009

Like any other company:

"Our prices are increasing due to : (pick one) fuel costs, material costs, labor costs"

Translation, "We're using current economic buzz words and trends to pad our margins. In no manner will we decrease prices should the reason we've listed decrease in the future."

I passed on the XAs and got the old style for a killer deal. I am not looking for all out performance just wanted the drop adjustability! The deal was too good to walk away from thanks to Pete at Pedders!

Yes, we all know you got a great deal, you've posted it numerous times. Just don't ask what sort of deal you got because that's a secret.

maybe it would be better to say that Pedders isn't going to have a price increase, but their pricing will be going back to the price before the sale.

DMS

Rob is correct, Pedders did some very serious price reductions for December. Prices will change in the next couple of days, and most parts will go back to what they were before. Also, there will be some twists (benefits) to some types of purchases. More on that when all the prices are listed.

Love Pedder's Products and Service.

BUT with the HUGE reduction in fuel costs, overseas shipping fees and steel prices. No way should prices be increasing on anything in this current enviro.

Only reason would be for decreased demand.

Prices are going back to 2008 levels for most pieces. You are correct about a lot of the price reductions. However, the reductions are not getting passed on to us in a very big manner. Have you seen the airlines dropping the suit case fees that were started due to fuel.

Our shipping costs I think have actually gone up. Steel prices really have not decreased like you think

Mike, why are the strut bushings sitting at $43 each? These have already gone up?

BTW: the Aussie dollar is sitting at around $.70, up from a low 60's a few weeks ago, and down from .8x last summer. The currency exchange is what REALLY makes pricing imported parts very tricky. Yes, steel and fuel costs are down. But the fabrication costs are a LARGE part of something like this, as opposed to structural steel beams or stamped body panels.

I DO believe that pricing is more sensitive now than it has been in the past. I am honestly surprised that there are a lot of folks looking at doing auto mods these days, as the uncertainty SO MANY PEOPLE are facing in their jobs is helping people save vs. spend.

Rob@WretchedMS

they are at 42 each

$85.98 / pr as noted on YOUR website...whatever, but WHY have they gone back up? Other stuff has not as of yet. I remember seeing these 20-something.

My post was in response to a post that has been deleted, not sure why your giving me a hard time. I don't control pricing, i sell the parts, and provide support/installations.

In December, we did a near system wide sale that was suppose to go thru Dec. 25th. We extended it due to a ton of requests.

The sale is over. Pedders has always had a price increase at the end of the year. We are not increasing prices, just keeping the 2008 prices.

There were tons of info on the sale on all the forums and indicating it is a sale. Sorry if you did not see it or understand it.

Rob has no control of the pricing of Pedders. That is a corporate decision. It takes a lot of time to change 400 or so p/n prices. I made the post so guys can potentially squeeze out a discount or 2 before all the changes are made. If you are late, you did have 5 weeks

We will, however, most likely be offering some nice discounts when a complete systems, and we have tons of systems available.

Okay, let me try one last time: the information was that the prices would go back up in a day or two (from yesterday). I SIMPLY TRIED TO ASK why the bushing price had ALREADY gone back up, when the others had not.

Rob posted immediately after me when I said 43 per bushing with a post saying 42 per bushing...and so I DIRECTLY quoted from HIS website, not the Pedders ecommerce site.

Rob@WretchedMS
01-08-2009, 02:05 PM
ok, i'm sorry for not being 100% accurate, i will make sure that i do that with you in the future.

Mike had posted right after you and before me, that they were still at the $25 price.

I posted saying that they were 42 in response to his post, but in reality they are 42.99, so $43 would be closer.

thank you

The issue s my fault, and not Rob's. I posted it because I chatted with Pete and Deb. they told me they were working on the price changes, and it will take a couple of days. I interpretted this as it will be posted in a couple of days. They started and will continue until the parts prices are changed.

So I hope this resolves the why for you.

So, in other words, last night when you posted that the prices would be changed in a day or two that was NOT accurate. Some of the prices were ALREADY CHANGED....AT THE TIME THAT YOU SAID THERE WOULD BE ANOTHER DAY OR TWO.

<sigh> As I have mentioned elsewhere, I am so glad that in these economic times this sort of service/information 'sharing' is acceptable. Alas, it is NOT an issue for me as I have all of the parts that I need. I just feel for those who assumed SOME level of ACCURACY in the post about a price increase.

My wife does import/export freight forwarding sales from mainly mainland China. They have had to go back and re-adjust rates 3 times within the last 9 months. Most recently down dramatically. If your shipping costs have not dropped recently you may want to look for a new freight forwarding company.

Either way you'll get an awesome product with Pedder's and great customer support (had a fully done GTO).

Just don't see this helping sales going forward in this economic enviro. :driving:

Yu know, I get nothing personally for making the posts. There are still tons of parts even as of tonight, that still have not changed. So it was my sincere desire to stretch out the sale for as long as I could. to those that are pissed of about, I am sorry. but you did have 5 weeks to make decisions, when i should only have been 3 weeks

Mike, don't waste your time, nothing that either of us says will be good enough, he will just find another 'reason' to explain why we are horrible people.

you try and help people, try and save them money, and all you get is crap....

I wonder why steel hasn't gone down for you guys. Our steel costs have just about cut in half since all the steel mills that were shut down for the Olympics have since returned to normal output.

Anyhow, bump for a good product.

China's production of steel is seriously down. We know, because some of the raw materials that China uses for the production of steel comes from Australia. Tracking this is one of the indicators that we watch and has a direct relationship to the value of the Australian dollar.

The world economy is not balanced. you would think if the Au dollar is worth X-30, us being X, and the asian market equals x-10, you would think the Australian dollar would have the same relationship between the Asian dollar and the Au. It absolutely does not. So Au will pay a higher % for Asian products than we will. Makes no sense, but that is the world
