IMPORTANT USB MEMORY PRICING INFO

Dear Customers,

Due to the devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan last week, the USB memory market has been severely impacted.  A large number of manufacturers of the drives and key drive components are located in Japan and are currently without power and production has come to a complete stop.  As a result of this, pricing for USB memory has jumped as much as 50% within the last 24 hours.

What does this mean for any upcoming USB memory requirements?

Incredible Novelties Inc. does work closely with a reliable USB supplier located in the USA which keeps a significant on hand inventory of over 100 drive styles and memory configurations.  While the costs regularly fluctuate weekly, the pricing over the coming weeks is sure to rise, as the supply becomes less and less.  

Our current USB pricing for the week of March 14th will be valid and honored through March 19, 2011 with no change.  This pricing is consistent with last weeks pricing.  Future pricing is extremely uncertain and will be evaluated weekly based on information from the factories.  

What do we recommend?  If you are expecting to require any flash drives over the course of the near future, I would suggest placing the orders now, before the prices are higher and stock becomes harder to get.

If you have any inquiries or requirements please do not hesitate to contact me anytime.  Our thoughts are with all the affected families in Japan and we hope for a speedy recovery.

Jordan
