Temporary Price Adjustment Notice Due to AUD Drop

Dear Stockists,

As you may be aware, a combination of global trade pressures—including the latest round of US-imposed tariffs on European goods—has contributed to a significant drop in the Australian dollar. Since we import all our products from Europe, this shift has had a direct impact on our landed costs.

We’ve always done our best to absorb currency fluctuations and keep pricing consistent for our stockists. However, with the current sharp decline, we can no longer absorb these unprecedented changes and must introduce a temporary adjustment.

What you need to know:

All in-stock items will remain at current prices until 20 April.
Effective immediately, backorder items (i.e. items not in stock at the time of your order) will incur a temporary 15% surcharge to reflect the currency shift.
The surcharge will be applied at the order level only, not across our full price list. This gives us the flexibility to remove it quickly once the AUD stabilises.

From 21 April, the 15% surcharge will apply to all orders, including items currently in stock.

We understand this may cause some inconvenience, but we’re committed to being transparent and fair. This approach allows us to manage short-term volatility without a full pricing restructure — and our goal is to remove this adjustment as soon as the market allows.

FAQs

How long will the surcharge last?
This is a temporary measure. We’ll remove it as soon as the AUD recovers to a more stable level.

Can I place an order before 21 April without incurring the surcharge?
Yes — all orders placed and fulfilled before 21 April will follow current pricing (as long as stock is available). Only backordered items will incur the surcharge before this date.

Are the orders I am already waiting for going to incur the surcharge?

No. Any orders placed prior to this update and already in progress will not be affected by the surcharge.

Can I update my RRP to reflect the surcharge?
Absolutely. We understand your margins are important too, and you’re welcome to adjust your recommended retail pricing to reflect this temporary increase.

Why not just change the price list?
We’ve chosen not to amend our full price list so we can remain agile. Once the currency stabilises, we can remove the surcharge without the need for a full restructure.

Thanks again for your continued support and understanding.
