As many of you are aware, shipping situations worldwide have been horrible over the past 18 months, with ports shutting down, ships getting stuck, people unable to work, and a lack of containers physically available to fill. This has all lead to a massive shipping cost increase, and inbound shipping costs to the USA from Australia have more than DOUBLED over the past year. Not only the shipping cost, but the amount of time it takes to get a container delivered has virtually doubled. It used to be about 6 weeks, but now on average it’s 11-14 weeks to get it in.

As a result, it is now necessary for the price of each tank kit to be raised by $150 per kit. This is simply to cover the increased inbound costs, and is not a product price increase for additional profit.

This pricing change will be put into affect on Monday September 6th (Labor Day), so be sure to get any orders you are considering in before that day!!

Don’t forget that Exit Offroad offers free shipping on all Long Range Fuel tanks, a cost of $200-300 usually.
