Weber Pellets

[tippersjersey]

Hi All,

Went to my local garden centre yesterday and noted that they had the 9kg (20lb) bags of pellets on special 30% off.
I also noted they had new packs of pellets which were in boxes rather than bags. These were the normal price of the bags circa £20.50 but i noted they are 8kg (17.5lb) not 9kg.
If this weber stealthily trying to up profit?

They have been around for a few months now.

These days companies will either raise the price or reduce the quantity. Or both.

rough road ahead.

The way they hand out parts unnecessarily, I'm not suppressed.
I have seen people that only need a pin for the auger and are sent the whole assembly (pin, auger, motor and chute).

Most of the companies in this market and current retail environment are in distress. Not that I’m defending him, but it’s gonna get worse. Not just for Weber.
