I bought $142.00 worth of stuff at the Tile store a couple days ago. I knew the price was high for what I got and I noticed a $15 Srchg for... get this... Transportation/Energy!! (Transportation/Energy Srchg = $15.00) ya think an extra $15 per sale on top of raised prices is a nice little cushion for them!???
Companies, many of them, are milking this on all 4 tits...
(Transportation/Energy Srchg = $15.00)
Expect to see more of thatl with basically any item being shipped,
Construction project managers are leaving that line item open to day of delivery. It could go up or down.
Last month we had a fairly large construction punch list to stay in our home and not worry about winter storms.
Our contractor told us the cost of paint, lumber and whatever has increased 10-20% across the board since we had
our punch jobs done.
