Went today to finally purchase all of the things I “need” that I have had in my shopping cart for the past few weeks… $96 price increase… no thanks

Wow, that's quite an increase!

That’s 25% just to clarify

Depends if OP started with $300 or $3000 in their basket.

1 item, 2 item, 3? How many? Products? Various products in our hobby have had an increase as noted around the web. Then there is this whole thing called inflation. I won't even get into the supply chain and shipping mess.

I don't know if 96 bucks is a big deal or not because no idea what you ordered but we all have our thresholds. What I would suggest is looking for the same items via two other online retails (I won't mention names) and see if it is similar or unique to the one you posted about. Then widen the search.

If it is the same then only you can decide. You could always rob Peter to pay Paul by foregoing other vices for a couple days. Hope you have a great day.

any ecotech or ai products in the cart? they both just went up

Inflation. Gas Prices. The cost of everything has gone up. And while I find BRS to be a bit on the over-priced side, you can't expect them not to adjust prices based on the economy.
S--t rolls downhill. And we reefers are at the bottom.

Bulk Reefs Supplies monetary policy stinks. We should vote them out. They are making gas and food go up too.

 

[Dburr1014]

$400 and 25% so $500 now?

There are alternatives to BRS.

There are alternatives to BRS.

The gas and food seem about the same price everywhere I go though.

 

[mehaffydr]

Not sure if you have noticed but everything you buy right now is up? Why is this a surprise. Go try and buy gas and groceries for the same price you paid a month ago.

 

[Nick Steele]

At least for me SW aquarium is usually much cheaper for me and they don’t add in taxes like BRS

 

[Projects with Sam]

That is just from the the cost of gas. If you think that was nuts just wait. were heading into WWIII.

 

[pecan2phat]

I find certain things like AcroPower, Brightwell products cheaper on Amazon and I'll get it faster and not have to meet a $49 minimum for the free shipping which takes a week to the east coast.

 

[Projects with Sam]

Yes but BRS is an American company paying Americans. And they provide other services like all the content on YouTube.

 

[WVNed]

Not sure what things cost right now. I have been busy setting up a 180 gallon tank.

No we aren’t.

To sell more product...

But that isn't why the price in the cart was changed.
