PRICING POLICY
Posted by Jake Hollyfield on 11th May 2022
You will have noticed that everyone else is increasing their prices. Raw materials, shipping costs, day to day costs like energy, courier costs and staff costs are affecting everyone you do business with.
Despite this pressure, we have kept our prices as low as we can with our prices still at pre-pandemic levels.
We think our prices are the lowest you are going to find for original Cuisenaire® Rods. As we stated in our earlier blog post we don't sell through third party sites, so buying from us directly is the only way you can guarantee you are getting our product.
We can't commit to holding our prices down forever - we may have no choice depending on the operating environment. But we shall certainly keep any rises to a minimum should that situation arise.
So, if you are hesitating over whether to make that purchase, we encourage you to do it now, as current stock is limited. Orders are generally sent out within 24 hours.
Feel free to get in touch with any queries.

The question of wooden and plastic rods
We are often asked whether we (still) supply wooden rods. Sometimes this comes from a sense of nostalgia, because customers used to have a wooden set when they were young and they want the same for their own children. Sometimes it is related to concerns about the environment and the use of plastic in general.We thought it [...]
