Taylor King Price Increase, Century Sale, Hunter Douglas

Here is the latest. Taylor King has joined the growing list of vendors that have implemented a price increase. Effective JULY1st !!!!!

If you are quoting a job, please call us to correct your price. According to Taylor King, their suppliers have increased the cost of metal for the last 4 months running, and they have also gotten a foam increase. Of course, gas is adding to the problem. We appreciate that your clients will not be happy, but hopefully will understand. On the bright side, this is great incentive for them to make their mind up right away, so use this to your advantage.

You may be hearing rumors about this, so we wanted to tell you that as of early August, Acme Window Coverings will become part of Hunter Douglas Northeast. There is a growing trend toward consolidation, which keeps costs down. We have had meetings with our rep and the folks from HDNE and have been assured that we should see no interruption in our ship times. Our pricing will remain the same, and our RGA and repair procedures will not change. From what we hear, HDNE offers outstanding customer service. If there are any developments that might affect your jobs, we will be sure to let you know. The transition will be gradual, and we should not miss a beat. There MAY be some changes to the installation procedures, but we will keep you informed. Please be assured that we are on top of this---keep on selling and do not worry.
