DHL price increase Nov 1

[sergfro]

Any of your Chinese suppliers tell you that DHL will be increasing prices starting Nov 1 ?

[AmazonStealth]

Increase of 4.9%.

Examples of Shipping Rate:

$50 ---> Now 52.45

$150 ---> Now 157.35

$500 ---> Now 524.50

Increases suck, but could be worse.

I guess the foo-foo's are gonna have to go up in price too, lol.

This is a normal increase. Nothing too worrisome from a business perspective.

Pay more just to have items seized...ha

No, most DHL routes are going up between now and February. The average increase is 5%.

[newjerseymax]

Happens every year! Nothing new!

If that happens, prices will go up right after it.

Do you not get your items shipped for free by DHL? That way the increases wont affect you

There is NO SUCH THING as free shipping - ANYWHERE. It is just advertised that way and they build the shipping cost into the product price.

Unless, maybe, your rich uncle happens to own DHL...
