April 1, 2022 - What is the “fuel surcharge”? Like many companies, we are facing unprecedented increases in shipping costs due to high fuel prices. Unfortunately, while we have absorbed these costs in early 2022, the sustained high prices make it impossible for us to completely absorb moving forward. We will continue to monitor fuel and related shipping prices. We appreciate your understanding of this issue.
