I just looked back...the shipping on the last 11# I ordered from WLT was $84, that was priority post and $US.

Hmmm. Leaving a full-time job for govt. assistance doesn’t make much sense unless they could benefit greatly from the free health insurance offered for the under and unemployed. Anyway, price increases are the way of the world right now and I hope to god this situation does not force you out of business. I will continue to purchase from you regardless!

Thank you all for your support. I've decided to postpone the price increase on most items until after the Black Friday deal.
The Black Friday deal will be the same as last year (buy 3 get 1 free, limit 3 free per customer).

Just wondering if cigar blends count toward this?

Thanks, only wondered since they strictly speaking aren't a single pound of any one component. In any event I have already placed an order. I've always been more than happy with my previous orders.

That's roughly what it was with Big Bonner.

Placed an order last minute. Hopefully things will come down next year.

Will post pics and for Canadians starting to look at getting a U S address and have them sent to Canada. Just curious on costs. In some cases if you are close to the border could arrange a pickup there.

Received my Black Friday shipment. Surprised by how quickly it got here. Some very nice early Christmas goodies as well. Thanks!

Christmas goodies? Just curious as Canada is a little tricky on it.

 

[HillDweller]

The usual pen and notepad etc, but a nice old-fashioned thermometer as well.

Awesome looking forward to it mentioned the sale on the pipe forum on facebook. I think some are intrigued at least.

I made my order and already received with Ty goodies. Sale of buy 3 get one free could be anywhere from about $60-$120 depending upon what you’re ordering. I got my extras to restock what I needed for some Viso & Seco. Ordered multiple wrappers. Just hoping to support Don & the team as much as possible during this holiday season. Great peeps, always fast in shipping, & always the best leaf! Love them all at WLT & love Don and the great team over there!

It seems like this has become a regular feature on the forum. It brings me no joy to inform you of yet another price increase.

We have lost more than half of our workforce to either higher-paying jobs or welfare...yes, welfare. This week alone, we have lost three workers to "government assistance". The others have gone to Rubbermaid, paying $20 an hour, and another nearby company, paying $18 an hour. The only way we can keep the doors open is to pay higher wages. Whether or not we continue to operate will ultimately depend on you.

I don't know what people will do for basic essentials like food and clothing when all the stores close for lack of employees. This can not go on forever,

If you’re near Wilmington NC let me know. I’m always available for a few hours each week
