For sellers who ship in rigid postcard sleeves, the major US importer has raised their price by 1/3 and has run out of stock- does not expect any inventory until May. They usually run out once a year - in summer. This has taken me by surprise. I placed an order today, which was accepted. Neglus couldn't order. My cheeks are clinched until I receive my shipment.

I am in deep-doo-doo if my regular guy can't come through. I only have about 500 left and that won't last a month. I spent the evening trying to find suppliers just in case.

I have used www.bagsunlimited.com for my ad storage supplies maybe they have what you need.
A 30% price increase is crazy but given the surge in fuel prices it just stands to reason that everything else will go up too. Can anyone say hyper-inflation?

Thanks Greg - I did find them for about half that price. The seller says he buys his stock by the truckload so hopefully he has enough. I am going to call later this am and will post a link to his website if he does. Interestingly, I came up at the top of a Google search for these (I sold them in my eBay store but have taken down all the listings now) and I really had to hunt for his. I think that illustrates the importance of doing the Google Base Store Connector on a regular basis (at least once a week). When your GTC's end, they don't renew on Google.

He has them in stock but expects to be sold out by the end of the week. Pixia and I have placed our orders and should be good until May (whew). I hope the price Pixia was seeing was because of the low inventory.

TCBulk is sold out in their NY location but it looks like they still have them in their northern California warehouse. The problem is that when the distributors run out of current inventory, they won't be able to get any more from BCW until May.
