Prices hitting the roof: Report form the gorund: Dear Mr.Pole climber,

As per our telephone conversation i am waiting your GF sites heights and quantities. And immediately i will quote and get back to you.

As I try to explain in the phone last 3 months there is a very big crisis in steel market. Almost every week there is an increase of prices for angles and plates.(within the last 4-5 weeks it was very heavy increases act on them) (we can prove by the invoices of steel suppliers?) In the mean time The steel manufacturers are giving the prices with very short validity period of one or two days. The purchases are made with cash money, without any deferred payment condition.

This unfortunately affected the cost for our quotations very deeply.(As you know also our ex-quotation validity expired.) We already conclude that this condition was a force MAJOR condition all steel supliers . And we start to explain and re-evaluate all quotations based on that issue to the our clients this week immediately .

That is why under these conditions, I am going to start the calculation and get back to you immediately.

P.S: I am preparing Turnkey quotation aacording to your Towers that we quote to you 1 month ago.

Kindly Regards,
Pole climber supplier from Turney

FXP is on my radar, but I suspect the Chinese PPT has plenty of ammo that will be deployed sooner or later.
