And lastly, due to increases in cost of goods, shipping, and productions cost, we are forced to make a small change in some of our lines of products. The increase amounts to $5 to $10 on some of our kits. We have taken pride in keeping our prices down and have not an increase since April 2018. This small price increase will allow us to keep offering you the best possible products and service we can. Thank you for your continued patronage.
