If this is not the correct forum for this post, my apologies, please move it. I searched through April for any post with "Rockler" in it and did not find this information.
This is just a heads-up. If any of you have been holding-off on purchasing Rockler-brand items, as well as some other items, you may want to get it done before 5/10/08, using the current catalog code of H8998, if you want to save some $$$.
Here are some examples of the price increases:
- Rockler Coping sled, was $50, now $60, on sale in catalog for $40.
- V-clamps go up by $5.
- 12" end vise, was $140, now $160 | 7" & 9" vises go up by $10.
- Heavy Duty Tenoning Jig, was $80, now $85, on sale for $64.
- Triton Lumber Rack, was $63, now $68.
- Bunch of other stuff: general store-wide price increase on many items.
I noticed that their prices (that I checked) are now equal to Woodcraft's prices on items that they both sell. I do not know if that means that Woodcraft recently raised their prices as well and/or if Rockler decided to price-match.
Prices have already changed in the stores as of 2 or 3 weeks ago according to the local Rockler manager. Last week, when I was there, he was not going to honor the current catalog price until I showed him a print-out of the shopping cart showing that the prices are good through 5/10/08. He was not happy, but he did it. Since then, I ordered online to avoid that hassle, even though it costs me a little more.
Don't expect them to combine the current catalog prices with the in-store 20% flier and 25% email coupons though. The local manager said there was no way he would do that.
When looking on Rockler's website, the new prices will show on the product pages. The only way you can see the catalog prices is to enter the catalog code on the shopping cart page and the shopping cart will show the catalog prices. I also had to re-enter the catalog code in the coupon code area during check-out to make the catalog prices "stick."
