[Notice] Notice of price increase for rattan materials (price change from 17:00 on 12/27)
Dear Sir/Madam, We hope that you are all in good health and prosperity.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your continued patronage.
We are very sorry to announce that due to the impact of COVID-19, costs have increased significantly due to rising prices of various goods. Until now, we have managed to absorb the increase through our corporate efforts and avoid raising prices, but our efforts have reached their limit, so reluctantly we have decided to raise prices from 2022.
As we all know, rattan is a plant that grows naturally in tropical rainforest jungles.
It's a long journey from the jungle to our company, passing through many different people, using various means of transport, and passing through several countries before arriving at our company.
In all these areas, there is great confusion and rising prices.
Also, unlike Japan, these countries implemented several lockdowns lasting several months each.
This has brought all industries other than those related to daily necessities and medical care to a complete halt, and operations have not kept up in all areas, resulting in many products being out of stock.
There was no lockdown in Japan so some people may not have felt it personally, but the impact of the lockdown has not only affected the rattan industry but all industries around the world, causing major chaos in logistics both on land and at sea.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused, and would appreciate your understanding in light of all the circumstances.
Orders placed by 5:00 p.m. on December 27, 2021 at our online store will be shipped in the new year.
For orders placed after 5:00 p.m. on December 27, 2021, the product prices will be the increased prices, and shipping procedures will be carried out sequentially from January 6, 2022.
Regarding future shipments, we will do our utmost to secure materials, but we ask for your understanding that we will review the prices for each shipment.
First of all, I would like to ask you to provide us with a written request.
Sincerely,
