Every few months, we do a market check.
We pull our current selling prices, compare them against what local factory are actually charging at carton volume, and ask one question: are we still competitive?
This month, the answer on 18 products was no.
What we found
Our prices on a handful of core products had drifted above the current market rate. Not by a massive amount β but enough that if you were comparing us against another local supplier, we'd lose on price.
That's not a position we want to be in.
The products affected were mostly everyday essentials β paper bowls, PP takeaway containers, sauce cups, cup holders, kraft paper bags, plastic bags, disposable gloves, and thermal label rolls.
These aren't niche items. They're things F&B businesses order regularly, in volume. If we're not competitive on these, we're not competitive where it matters most.
What we did
We adjusted all 18 down to match current market rates.
No promo code. No minimum spend. No expiry date. These are the new standard prices β not a sale.

Why we're telling you this
Most suppliers don't announce price drops. They just change the number and hope nobody noticed it was higher before.
We're telling you because we want you to know this is intentional β and because if you've been sourcing any of these elsewhere, we want you to check if we're cheaper now.
If we are, great. If we're not, tell us. We'd rather know than lose your order quietly.
What happens next
We'll run this same review every quarter. If prices drift above market again, we'll adjust and tell you. If our costs go up and we need to raise prices, we'll tell you that too.
The goal is simple: you should be able to trust that what you see on Deals Club is a fair price without having to shop around to verify it.
